Hell's Angels-HST
Abbey is always good.
That's what I was thinking. I'm kind on a Abbey jag right now.
Naked Lunch is a hard read. I loved it, but I had to read it twice before I understood anything, and three times before I felt like I got it at the level I get most books from a quick read.
I definitely suggest reading that one, but make sure it gets all your attention.
Personally I didn't enjoy the only Camus book I read at all, it was the Stranger though, rather than one of those two. Could have been the translator but I didn't find his writing style engaging at all.
