In my experience, to read Nietzsche is not like reading other poets or philosophers. Nietzsche uses metaphors and allegories and spins the languages beautifully (I really recommend reading him in german, since it'll make his works much more like poesi, than philosophy). What Im trying to say is, that you dont just sit down and read 200 pages. Read one or two pages and reflect upon - and supplement your reading with secondary litterature as well, that'll greatly increase your experience. However, if you are able to, I suggest wait with the secondary litterature untill you have form an opinion about his works. Dont go biased to it, read it for what it is - then read someone elses opionions.Originally Posted by strike for the south
