At Last Nietzsche Wept
Today, at last (after months) I finished reading When Nietzsche Wept - A Novel Of Obsession (Nietzsche Ağladığında) I've been reading it for really long and I couldn't finished it because it needs some serious concentration... It is about Friedrich Nietzsche and Josef Breuer's fictious talkig sessions; they both lived in the same period, they both had problems about their love life and in fact they had never met. Author Irvin D. Yalom did a great job imagining them together helping each other setting themselves (and world they were feeding inside.)
Before When Nietzsche Wept I read My Sister, My Spouse by H.F.Peters (Kızkardeşim, Karım) a biography about Lou Salome the girl Nietsche felt in love with, so i planned a trilogy and now it is turn for Salome: Her Life And Work by Angela Livingstone (Salome: Yaşamı ve Yapıtları). Of course there are a pile of books that i started to read and I wanna finish some of them really soon. (When I drive to work instead of public transportation it really affects my reading, so i think i will be preferring public transportation for at least a fortnight)
So; here are some links about the people I mention above...
- Breuer, Josef (1842-1925)
- Some more about Dr.Josef Breuer
- Pirate Nietzsche Page
- The perspectives of Nietzsche
- Donation Lou Salome
- Most famous photo that Lou Salome, Paul Ree and Nietzsche are together
- Lou Salome (Ekşi Sözlük - In Turkish)

I like your thoughts about the use of public transportation to be able to read more. I did the same thing but moved to close to my university now. But I found a new way to generate "time" since TV in Germany is really a waste of time, I put "my sony" in the cellar. So far I planed to get it upstairs quite often, but never did it. Honestly, I don't miss anything.

I liked the expression RU... :)) Even if I knew that nobody was reading the things I wrote; I would be going on writing as my first reason to keep a blog is to write and take notes for my very self... But I know that people from different countries are reading my posts and sometimes they even get in touch with me like you... That'a great motivation... When I read sentences from friends far away I fall in love with Internet thing again... (And I - again - tell myself that I am working in the right job... Tho my blog doesn't have anything related with my job except Internet) (At the moment I just hesitated that I couldn't make myself clear enuff... Anyway :)

I don't watch TV much... In fact never... But the thing is as I am a movie freak (ok, not that much freak) I watch DVD's all the time... So I need my TV... But last night after finishing Run Lola Run, I went to my room; instead of lying on the bed I sat on a couch and start reading... I missed reading books in my room; sitting...

hey.. i also read when n. wept. took me 3 days, loved the book. i've never heard of l. salome before and was never interested in psychology. never heard of the other two books you're mentioning here either. anyway, i don't have anything smart to say, just wanted to share my thoughts that this one of the most remarkable books i've ever read. i'm inspired to know more about everything. thanks for your links.
