Hi all,
Been meaning to try Nietzsche for a while now but haven't known exactly where to start, can any of you recommend his best work to me as a starting point?
Cheers

Twilight Of The Idols is my fave.
I haven't read Thus Spake Zarathustra yet, but I'm told it's his best.

Thanks Besty, hadn't heard anything regarding Twilight of the Idols, but had heard Thus Spake Zarathustra was meant to be very good.

The Antichrist is a good place to start.
You might also want to supplement your reading of Nietzsche with some Schopenhauer as well.

I (legally) downloaded a load of his stuff form somewhere, can't remember where though, should be easy enough to find if you look for it.
It's also worth mentioning that Nietzsche was a woman-hating closeted homosexual who died of syphilis.

Read the five page summary: On truth and lies in a non-moral sense.
