I liked The Man Who was Sunday although I don't really understand what it was supposed to be about.

Nietzsche had some natural talent for sarcasm: he could sneer, though he could not laugh; but there is always something bodiless and without weight in his satire, simply because it has not any mass of common morality behind it. He is himself more preposterous than anything he denounces. But, indeed, Nietzsche will stand very well as the type of the whole of this failure of abstract violence. The softening of the brain which ultimately overtook him was not a physical accident. If Nietzsche had not ended in imbecility, Nietzscheism would end in imbecility. Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot. Every man who will not have softening of the heart must at last have softening of the brain.

Thanks anons. Looks like this is an author who gets strong opinions from people. I'm going to have to do some reading of his work.

It was great.

I took it that, at heart, often no man is as good as he pretends to be.
But being a religious type I felt he was pointing to some sort of Sunday as God's resting day being commentary - as Sunday is the only day worth what it says it is.

Idk, its 3 am here

He was a Catholic convert, and was given the title of Fidei Defensor by Pope Pius XI.

Why are you namefagging/samefagging?

OP, read Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man. Whenever he puts pen to paper it's always going to be good.
