>Finally finish Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Good fucking god. I can see what Bloom meant when he said it was 'unreadable'. I'd like to think it simply didn't translate well, and was far nicer in its original German.

Nietzsche said that Kant's CPS was the "secret joke of his soul", essentially proving the common man right in a way he could never understand. I'd say Thus Spoke Zarathustra was the secret joke of Nietzsche's soul.

I read that translation and the only parts I found hard to understand were the ones referencing old texts I wasn't fully read up on. Following the footnotes or doing some investigating of my own cleared the rest up. Nietzsche's writing is very poetic and heavy on the metaphoric side, as well as the referential side, so you need to have the right frame of mind and education when reading that book.

What did you have trouble with? Give an example.
