Sitting in a doctor's office waiting to hear about some ailment I can understand why many people don't want to sit with their own thoughts... Even if that is one of the most important time to do that.
Do you think Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a good book to read? I was thinking about reading it but have seen a lot of conflicting opinions on it. Should I read another book by him instead?
