I related to mersault a lot and his apathy towards his mother's death as well as his simple prose. I was hoping for other books that deal with alienation and absurdism with secondary existentialist themes. I tried camus the plague but it was way more dense than the stranger. any suggestions welcome

You might try Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
I’m a big fan of Camus. I agree that The Plague has different vibes. I really enjoyed most of his other ones: A Happy Death, The Fall, and Exile and The Kingdom (short stories). I also liked The Castle by Kafka. More modern alienation and absurd themes: Banal Nightmare by Halle Butler, Greek Lessons by Han Kang, and The Lonesome Bodybuilder (short stories) by Yukiko Motoya.
Maybe Roberto Bolaño, The Third Reich or 2666.
