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.

The man is what he looks like. A fat retarded protestant.
Anyone willing to at least elaborate an answer?
>>7451597
I like him.

Well, it was a nightmare.
>>7451597
One of the greats.
>>7451609
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
