Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What One Is; Revised Edition by Friedrich Nietzsche

1.5
Despite having majored in philosophy in college, I don't think I've ever read a full text by Nietzsche. Realizing this, I decided to make Ecce Homo my introduction to him, but I realized quickly that that was probably a mistake.
From my understanding, this "autobiography" was written mere months before Nietzsche went mad, and it shows. This self-contradicting text is a rambling 150 pages of hate towards Germans, self-aggrandizement, and misogyny.
Very funny at times but I can't tell if that was intentional. Nietzsche cannot stay on topic for more than two sentences at a time, and despite being called an autobiography, we learn almost nothing about the author's life.
