I've just recently started reading Nietzche (I bought The Will to Power and Beyond Good and Evil), and have thusfar found that everything makes very good sense to me.
I haven't read much though, and I'm guessing there's a bunch of you who are familiar with his work who might be willing to explain some questions I may come across.
I used the search function but couldn't find any relevant threads really, please link if I'm missing something. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Any good articles or other weblinks are welcome too.
So yeah I've started The Will to Power and have actually been pretty excited, as I seem to be on the same page as Nietzsche on all his ideas (so far). Taking me a long time to read as I constantly have to pause to think, but the actual reading isn't too difficult.

A professor by the name of Robert C. Solomon also has some excellent stuff on Nietzsche - my favorite is his course which can be found at the
Teaching Company (don't be put off by the price - every course TTC puts out goes on sale at least once during the year, and in this case when it does it would be available for $70 instead of $250 for the DVD, so just wait until then), and a book called "What Nietzsche Really Said"
Of course, you don't have to (and shouldn't) take a philosopher's opinions all-or-none. There's stuff of Nietzsche's I find to be amazingly life-vivifying, and there's other stuff I could do without or think is sheer nonsense. Just take the parts that speak to you and incorporate them into your life and personal philosophy, and throw the unnecessary bits away.
