- ch4s3 5y agoNietzsche agreed with you :)
- jarpschop 5y agoNietzsche said the same thing as Schopenhauer, that reading too much may make you stupid in the end; and for the same reasons.
- ch4s3 5y agoWell he also said that a book is made better by good readers and that reading a good book was a triumph. He didn't like "common" books, so maybe you're right. I had in min his general criticisms of Schopenhauer, though I'm no expert on wither.
