I don't think anyone has actually read Nietzsche
Ecce Homo is... interesting. Quoting Tears for Fear:
It's one of his last books and it's obvious his eccentricity is bordering madness already. It contains chapters like "Why I Am So Wise", "Why I Am So Clever", "Why I Write Such Good Books", and "Why I Am a Destiny". Some scholars say it's a provocative or sardonic way of presenting an autobiography; I wouldn't be so sure.
I'll have you know I bought an English copy of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and read almost the entire first dozen pages. Twice!
I couldn’t tell you much beyond this since it was boring and I don’t remember but: “God is dead” was not emo edgy bullshit but rather an observation that society as a whole was growing more secular, to way over-generalize the context.
I read Thus Spoke Zarathustra when I went through a phase of reading "classical" philosophy books. I remember liking it, though I don't remember much of it anymore.
