Actually dude you can read someone and end up respecting their work powerfully even if you find yourself diverging from it. I tried nietzsche's solutions practically in my own life and found them lacking. I still respect his diagnosis and critique of modern decadence.

I disagree with Nietzsche that Christianity fits in the master/slave moral taxonomy and that Christ is merely a Dionysian figure. I think Christianity is something radically new in the history of the world. I just don't know what to do about that fact.

>>11108291
Madame Bovary is the first modern novel. It was basically 80 years ahead of its time. It was a modernist novel before that term even existed. It has some of the best prose ever written and Flaubert was somehow able to turn a subject that's boring into a work of art.

The other choices are indeed pleb trash and this book should not be lumped in with them.
