<p>Somebody please recommend a good Nietzsche book to me. I'm a beginner to him and philosophy, but very curious. okay thanks. </p>
<p>I think Thus Spoke Zarathustra is his most famous book. I’ve read parts of On the Genealogy of Morals. </p>
<p>@halcyonheather, thanks! They’re in English, right? 
</p>
<p>No, they’re German, on account of him being German. There would be English translations of his more popular works though.</p>
<p>The originals weren’t, but in the United States you’d probably be more likely to find an English translation than anything else.</p>
<p>the problem i don’t know German.
@HatebeinSober or anybody, can you recommend a book or so by him, popular and good ones, in English? Thanks.</p>
<p>Like I said, they’ve translated his major books. I don’t think he even spoke English, let alone wrote in it. </p>
<p>You can find almost anything in English…you’ve probably read a lot of translated stuff. If you go to the library and find a Nietzsche book, it’ll be an English translation. I don’t even know where you’d find a German version in this country. People probably read Nietzsche without even knowing the originals were in German. </p>
<p>Just wondering, why are you interested in Nietzsche specifically?</p>
<p>yes that is what I want - the English translation. I know he didn’t write in English. :D</p>
<p>You might also want to look into an ethics/philosophy class. I find that sometimes it is hard to visualize these types of abstractions just by reading a book by yourself.</p>
<p>You should learn German and read them in German, because the medium is the message and everything’s better in German :)</p>
