What are your thoughts on the man, his life, and his philosophical works?  Anyone ever read Nietzsche's Human All Too Human?  One of the most insightful and brilliant books on the human animal that I have ever read.

Arthur Schopenhauer's Essays and Aphorisms is every bit as good.  Nietzsche and Schopenhauer have shaped my view on this life and this world more than anything else I can think of.
