Thus Spake Zarathustra is basically meaningless without previous knowledge. As in, you will get nothing from it whatsoever.

The Divine Comedy is more about context, you ought to have at least some understanding of canon and theology before reading it, but you should already have a bit assuming you aren't from, say, Iran.

Just do it. Don't expect to finish the books with your setties though.

With the Divine comedy, you'd probably want to read the Aeneid first too and maybe a book on Greek mythology. Like a lot of people here, I'd recommend Mythology by Edith Hamilton, or, you could get a annotated edition of the Divine Comedy and use Wikipedia to fill in the blanks.
