This is the most amazing book I have ever read...and EASILY the best philosophy book I've ever read. What's funny about it is that it was Nietzsche's version of...

NM...that ruins the discussion, eh?

In my opinion this book isn't bad, but I think both books I've read by Neitzsche have had extremely pretentious translators.
Not sure if that's how Neitzsche intended his writing to be pretentious because I don't speak or read German, but his a lot of his thoughts sure come off that way.
This book would have been much better to read if I knew it didn't employ the use of the Ubermensch and lead probably thousands or hundreds of thousands of individuals to turn to Nazism or become racist in some way.
