Most other philosophers put in a book what can be written in a sentence. The rest is just introduction and discussion
And often tediously long too ... but you still have to trawl through the whole of it in order to find the relevant sentence, don't you?
Re Nietzsche, which of his texts would you recommend for a start? I've only read bits and pieces, and nothing from start to finish. (Unlike The Black Jester I've never felt particularly drawn to him; it might be useful to have some first-hand idea about his writings, but I don't have the time and energy to read everything.)
