Just started reading Nietzche recently after hearing a lot about them in my culture studies and then, more detailly when reading Freud and Jung. Currently, I'm reading the Antichrist/Ecce Homme and i genuinely am amused with his writing syle. His ability to write blunty and to deconstruct/reconstruct moral values in such a cynical, sarcastic and egoistical way is absolutely captivating. I believe he teaches people to really think for themselves and be very pratical and logical when faced with arguments and debates surrounding topics that are sensitive to us. I mean, Nietzche criticies Cristianity in such a ideological and unfiltered way that we are inclined to believe that he is not a cristian, when in fact, he was. True, in a sense you can't take big lessons from him like you can take from other grand authors (and by lessons i mean theoretical truths). Still, a lot can be learned from the way he tackles the problems in his works. If anything, he teaches you to not take any knowledge, any sort of truth, tradition, religion, or high moral law as truth, or as being unquestioned.

I experienced it that as well. I think it was mostly due to a gut feeling that I had concerning the journey of Yozo's character. It is a very realistic book and when you build a bond, and truly connect with the main character you can almost guess what is bound to happen, as in seeing him further isolating and losing sense of his humanity. The very nonchalant like way of narrating adds to that feeling. It is an incredible book. I believe the book has that intent to cause anxiet and disconfort.
