Have some working knowledge of the greeks, then I'd just start with pic related and go with what seems interesting from there.

So i found A Nietzsche Reader published by penguin at a relatives house. I have not ever really tried to get in to philosophy, but from the banter on this board I gather that Penguin is shit at it. So is it worth reading, or will it give me a false overview of Nietzsche?

This literally just happened to me

>Want to start getting a grasp of Nietzsche's philosophy
>Buy pic related
>Reading it on the train to work
>I have to commute to London for 1 hour 30 minutes and back every day
>Train is always packed
>Sitting opposite an Ashkenazic-looking lady
>She has an obstinate grimace on her face
>Switches from looking at me and the book cover continuously with the aforementioned facial expression, never ceasing
>Try to ignore her
>Eventually get perturbed and ask her if something is wrong
>"I just can't believe you can just sit there and just... read that"
>Ask her what is wrong with it
>She starts to fake-cry and sheds crocodile tears
>Male passengers take notice ask her what's wrong
>She doesn't answer and goes into a different carriage

What the fuck just happened?
