Reading Nietzsche on My (recent) 63rd Birthday


After finishing a long reading project, I had the great pleasure of deciding on what next to read out of many choices.  I reached for The Portable Nietzsche, edited, translated and with commentary by Walter Kaufmann.  This is a classic that I first read 40 years ago, and it is still as fresh and relevant as it was when it was first published.

Nietzsche is ruthlessly honest, boldly curious, iconoclastic, and timelessly in tune with the human condition from ancient days straight through into our own future.  …  The man continually amazes me.
