What works of philosophy have the best prose? The worst?

I'd say Thus spoke Zarathustra, although I loathed it.
Derrida might have the worst
Nietzsche is fun to read. Hegel is not.

Either/Or is the best tbqh.
Best: Plato, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.
Worst: every German idealist not named Schopenhauer.

Symposium. Plato puts a physician, a lawyer, a comedian, a drunk, and Socrates in a room and successfully gives them all personality through writing style alone.
I also found Marcus Aurelius easy to read, though idea-wise inferior to Epictetus. Cicero's on friendship and on old age also have great flow to them.

I'd also add Bertrand Russell.
