book-in-(g) knowledge

A while ago I finished reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I think I would respect anyone who have read that book.. this awsome book talks about values in a very direct way (with very indirect words) and the whole book is full of strong words and meanings. I'm very happy I've read it, I liked almost everything of it!
[definetely a must-read! A new perspective guaranteed!]


Right after that I've started reading The Sickness Unto Death (which has a very nicer title in spanish luckily.. I don't know if I would read it with that english title) from Søren Aabye Kierkegaard..The book starts very good, then it goes with a lot of great quoteable phrases but mixed content, and well, I didn't like it much at the end cause it end up focusing too much in christianity and almost nothing in philosophy.. which I kinda expected (since he was the reference of the religion-oriented existencialism), but as I said, it was over my limit..
[A must-check if you are interested in existencialism, if not, just read the back cover..]


Right now, to relax a bit my mind, I'm reading "Eve's_Diary and other tales" from Samuel Langhorne Clemens (aka: Mark Twain) which seems to be very funny, so great for the trips to and from work.. :D
