Should I read Nietzsche in any particular order?

I'm aware that Nietzsche can easily be misinterpreted and I don't want to fall into the usual pitfalls people make when reading his works directly.

Are there any other philosophers I need to know to read him? I've read the Greeks (pre-Socratics, Plato, Aristotle), Spinoza and Schopenhauer so far.

My former philosophy professor told me that Beyond Good and Evil is the best place to start, while Thus Spoke Zarathustra can be rather vague.

BGE full text when you get to it

Geneology full text too

Nietzs he recommended reading all his texts in order. BGE isn't his best work despite being well known. Maybe, if you don't want to take the chronological route, start with Twilight of the Idols? It's an older text, but it's like a summary of his ideas and it's short and rather accessible if you have the right mindset (not screaming "muh arguments, p > q motherfucker!" every sentence for instance).

Anyone who obsesses over muh arguments will never make it into any of his books, when reading the N-God you must understand that he thought that whether something was true or not wasn't the key thing to be concerned with.

By chronological, you mean, working my way from The Birth of Tragedy onwards?
>>
>>8171676
There may be some earlier essays published, but basically yes. Although some of his works are more concerned with philology (only the ones at the beginning) so you might want to speedrun them (although he makes interesting arguments even in those).

Most of his other early period works are superfluous or frequently included in collections alongside his early works.
