what are some good books on the freud + nietzsche connection? after a quick google search im really surprised at the lack books covering this topic
Well, first you have to find out if there really is a Freud/Nietzsche connection. I would say maybe, because they both more or less say that society holds back individual desires - Nietzsche thinks this is bad, Freud thinks this is good (or at least necessary). Other than that I don't know.

well when I read Freud i see Nietzsche everywhere; the concept of sublimation/repression, ressentment etc. I know most psychoanalysts try to play it down but Freud was obviously massively influenced by Nietzsche I thought that was pretty well accepted by most people into philosophy
Try this:
>Freud, the reluctant philosopher / Alfred I. Tauber.
"Rarely does a book cause one to rethink an entire field. Alfred Tauber's detailed and accessible study of the philosophical underpinnings and implications of Freud's work (and psychoanalysis in general) will have this impact on both the humanities and psychoanalysis. Tauber's rigorous framing of Freudian thought in the context of the history of philosophy (and the history of science) makes this the most important book on the shape of Freud's thought in recent times."-- Sander L. Gilman, Emory University "To his enormous credit, Tauber avoids the selective approach that is almost always taken by philosophers studying Freud. Instead of isolating facets of this multifaceted thinker, Tauber has striven to give an integrated and holistic portrait. He also provides a careful and detailed account of Freud's debt to German thinkers close to his own time. This is an important contribution."-- Jennifer Radden, University of Massachusetts, Boston
Others:
Nietzsche and Depth Psychology / Golomb, Jacob J. Editor
