Should I read beyond good and evil or Thus Spoke Zarathustra first?
No. It is not. Infact, they both say the same thing, just that Zarathustra, being a philosophical novel, is more poetic and less detailed. However, If you are reading to understand Nietzsche, I recommend you read BGE.
What should I read before Beyond Good and Evil?
I’d recommend starting with Zarathustra, as it’s very enjoyable and, for the most part, relatively easy to understand. When you get to the third part of it, things get a bit funky, so you might want to read some secondary literature, too.

Is the book Zarathustra better than the book BGE?
No. It is not. Infact, they both say the same thing, just that Zarathustra, being a philosophical novel, is more poetic and less detailed. However, If you are reading to understand Nietzsche, I recommend you read BGE. It is practically a surmise of all his ideas.
What is it like to read Zarathustra as a teenager?
Reading through Zarathustra as a teenager was a singularly powerful experience; the work defies categorization or genre, time or place. I was warned that Nietzsche was dangerous for young readers (like Machiavelli) because he went insane.
How does the book follow Zarathustra’s journey?
