Drew Van Gorder’s Reviews > The Portable Nietzsche > Status Update

Good luck with this! I read Zarathustra last year. It was really a task, but I'm eager to read it again to see what I missed the first time.

I think this one will give me the overall philosophy of Nietzsche without trudging through all the minutia and having to read all of his works...that's the hope, anyway! What did you get from Zarathustra?

Strangely...to enjoy this world while you’re in it, with all its downsides and unhappiness because that’s what makes it a life. To not regret our mistakes as long as we try - it’s when we don’t try that we fail. It’s a strange book, but one that I’m eager to read again.
