I always thought Neitzsche was a dry, drab read. The way that you say it reads in German, with the end of his thoughts being the underscore you're waiting for... that makes sense. When I've read him, it felt like Frederick was being paid per word. As if we were talking to the store together, but he needed to walk around the block to get to the place across the street. I feel the same about Julius Evola, and I wonder if the Latin base of Italian does the same thing. I'm not a polygot, so I wouldn't know. Funnily enough, the most drawn out, boring read I've experienced was Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace - and not because it's pedantic. I simply believe I read it too late. The whole time, I'm trying to comprehend the idea of the infinite jest film and I realized that I had jumped the shark and this was meant to be read in the early 2000s. Reading it now, after having been steeped in AI slop for a couple years.. sort of feel like I am far beyond the point of being entertained to death.
