If there's no ultimate meaning there's no ultimate truth, in which case it's erroneous to say anything as a truth claim, such as there being no ultimate meaning, or the falsity of Christianity. I'd recommend the existentialist theologian, Paul Tillich's book "The Courage to Be".
I'll send you a copy of you're interested?
I def recommend The Sibyl by Par Lagerkvist. And both The Courage to Be and The Dynamics of Faith by Paul Tillich. Also for Christianity, On Free Choice of the Will, by Augustine is great.
Contemporary continental philosophy is really Hegelian, so sadly you basically have to read the Phenomenology of Spirit, even though in school no one really reads it they just pretend to.
In general, my advice for philosophy is to find good secondary sources, and use those as you read the main material. For example, Being and Time is so hard to understand, but there's a book called Heidegger and the Question of Time by Francoise Dastur, which makes it a lot easier. The trick is finding reliable secondary scholarship.
