Friedrich Nietzsche

Behold, the Man. The Superman, even. Much, much, more fun than you’ve been led to believe. One of the most exhilharating writers that wrote in the English language. Um okay. So I spent like about five years trying to teach myself German just so I could read Nietzsche in the original. Not quite there yet. But boy has he got a gift for a turn of phrase.
