Nietzsche is awesome beyond comprehension (occasionally literally).
Mr EaZy sounds like a moron.
Nietzsche is such a great writer and I'm sure that I can only understand a small proportion of his ideas - if I could u nderstand all of his ideas he would seem even greater. I would've put your quote to replace Mr EaZy (aka 'moron') but with the new forum there's a maximum of 500 characters...

I actually enjoyed the Gay Science, thus spake, human all too human, and the antichrist :)

Personally my favourite novel is Vikram Seth's An Equal Music. However, I think that probably in terms of 'brilliant' writing, Barbara Kingsolver's The Poisionwood Bible is the cream of the crop. The characterisation is amazing.

Oh, it terms of humourous writing, I can't go past Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Love it!!

Harry Potter!

Well, it isn't really but I love it.

All Quite on the Western Front and Animal Farm are my 'Best Evers', and The Power of One.
