>tfw I've almost finished reading my first book in 5 years

It's the Geneaology of Morals. I've read it carefully, I've took lots of notes and underlined all the parts that were focal to Nietzsche's points, and all the imagery and rethoric figures I've appreciated.
Next I'll read the Antichrist by Nietzsche and Parmenides' On Nature (both fairly light, short but dense readings).

Are you guys proud of me?

No. You were supposed to start with the Greeks. You didn't understand half of what you thought you did

I just had a similar experience about a week ago. Finished Confessions after two years of starting but never completing books.
If you continue reading, I will continue to be proud of you OP :,)

I've read and translated them in high school (I've studied in a classical liceum in Italy) so I already knew what he was talking about.

As far as I know the Geneaology is one of his most structured works, but having read it only once I'll abstain myself from judging it.

>>9368729
I'm proud of you too, keep going!

I've dropped out this April after having picked the wrong major (Biology).
I still don't know what I'll do with my life. So far I'm certain about the fact that for the rest of my life I'll be genuinely interested in literature and philosophy.

I've always read it passively,muntil now I've never cpreally understood why someone would want to dedicate their lives to it. Suddenly I just got the appeal to it, and the desire of reading on a plethora of topics that I've ignored so far.

5 years ago I would have treated the Geneaology of Morals as something I had to do, or even worse, a homework: now it's so much more.
