[Zarathustra]

Which of his books have you read - if multiple; which was your favourite and why?

I have only read 'the consolations of philosophy' and half of 'status anxiety' - I plan to get 'the art of travel' and 'how Proust can change your life' because he writes so damn well. He has this wonderful style which I never tire of, although some of his ideas are not entirely original to some - a newbie to philosophy and literature (i.e. me ) still finds his books highly enjoyable.

The one on Proust, it was quite an interesting read.
