I used to own it. It's a good introduction, and Kaufmann has some elucidating things to say. He's a Nietzsche fanatic. Still, I would recommend you also read at least several of his works in their entirety.

Flames I thought of that but, I don't trust their opinion We have different tastes! Lose do you think I should read his works first?

You may as well take on the reader first. It's an easier read and will prepare you for his full works. The only thing I'd say if you do that is be sure that you realize Kaufmann is not Nietzsche. Come to your own conclusions.

I didn't know this was an "intellectual" thread... more like sharing what people are reading. fit for the general talk, i think.
