I'm currently reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and with each chapter I feel like my eyes have been opened. What books have changed you, /lit/?

I always liked that cover and wished it were on the Kauffman translation. Don't worry about (>>7731988), OP, it's a great book and your reaction to it is natural (though, admittedly, it's natural to have exaggerated feelings about this book). Enjoy it and don't let /lit/ ruin it for you.

Just don't recommend the little limp wristed, DOTA playing, pale, grindr stalking, cock sucker Atlas Shrugged, he might take over the world.

Ishmael. read it in my senior year of high school and i did a total 180 in terms of religion and philosophy.

Yeah it's a really nice cover.

I agree with this anon. Also Nietzsche himself doesn't invite blind devotion; put some time into questioning what you liked about the book & its weaknesses.

I don't think any single book changed my life. Mishima was probably the biggest revelation, I'm not sure it was an entirely positive influence. I really, really enjoyed Dante the first time I read him, which I wasn't expecting. Agamemnon had a big impact. Zarathustra was certainly thrilling to read the first time. Octave Mirbeau was also impactful. There was no internet back then, so it was really, really hard to find good books. Mishima wasn't very widely available. For all it's many, many failings, /lit/ is awesome for mainlining you straight to a wide selection of good books.

I wish I was young again.
