Look into his oeuvre and decide what you're most interested in, but since you're asking you probably haven't read enough prior philosophy to start yet
Yeah, newfag when it comes to philosophy, I looked at Yea Forums charts, but I felt like I wanted to start with his works first, if I should read more could you recommend some?
>With Thus Spoke Zarathustra I have given mankind the greatest present that has ever been made to it so far. This book, with a voice bridging centuries, is not only the highest book there is, the book that is truly characterized by the air of the heights—the whole fact of man lies beneath it at a tremendous distance—it is also the deepest, born out of the innermost wealth of truth, an inexhaustible well to which no pail descends without coming up again filled with gold and goodness.
Read his wikipedia page and then read Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Dive in
The Gay Science. Its funny and probably his most personal book. Made up of anecdotes, short passages and quips.
Then, I would say Genealogy of Morals
If you liked the greek references, check out Birth of the tragedy. If you liked the hard hitting philosophical shit read beyond good and evil
Need me a portable Nietzsche™
Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
Any other answer is retarded.
>stirner
I wish someone would unironically kill you butterfly
Thus spoke Zarathustra but - and I cannot stress this enough - read it out loud, preferably in the woods!
>read it out loud in the woods
..based?
start with not reading him and instead doing literally anything else with your time. even rereading Finn's Wake twice is more productive than reading two of NEETzsche's """"books""""
his early works
Start with thus spoke zarathustra, and then move onto beyond good and evil
Don't start with "thus spoke zarathustra".
Simply read his works chronologically. That means start with:
>Untimely Meditations
>Human, All Too Human
>The Gay Science
>The Birth of Tragedy
>Beyond Good and Evil
>Genealogy of Morals
>Thus Spoke Zarathustra
>The Case of Wagner
>The Twilight of the Idols
>The Antichrist
>Ecce Homo
If you are not sure simply search for the release date of his works and then read it in order. Otherwise use the order I suggested. And again: DON'T START WITH THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA
Dont listen to this retard, clearly just read a Wiki
Start with Thus Spoke Zarathustra then Beyond Good and Evil
>comparing stirner and epicurus
Do not read Thus Spoke Zarathustra first, it requires a good knowledge of his philosophy first otherwise it will seem completely unintelligibly and abstruse.
I’d start with beyond good and evil and genealogy of morals.
try listening to his shitty music
The Gay Science

This guy is an idiot and he hasn't read any of these books, ignore
Beyond Good and Evil, don’t listen to people who tell you start with Zarathustra.
Its alright, whats shitty about it?
Beyond Good and Evil came AFTER Zarathustra and its an expansion of the ideas expressed in Zarathustra, you're a fucking mongoloid.
Why are there so many pseuds recommending books they clearly haven't read?
This. I happened to read "Beyond good and evil" first, due to it being handed to me when i was younger.
When I did go back and read "Thus smoke zarathustra", it filled in so much that "beyond good and evil" was constructed on top of.
Der Wille Zur Macht you petty untermesche
Read his most badass and extreme book that he didn't finish you little pussy
Fixed
