The Antichrist - Friedrich Nietzsche

Reasoning

I wanted to see if there was a change of tone or approach in this book from the previous ones given the name and the fact that Nietzsche was seemingly writing for himself rather than a specific audience at this point.

What I Gained

This book is noticeably more personal, and doesn't really elaborate in much depth on the will to power, overman, or the eternal recurrence: 

1. A lot of Nietzsche's criticisms in this book are repeated over and over again, it almost seems like he's being aggressive towards Christianity.
2. Many of his criticisms are aimed directly at priests rather than the religion itself, calling them lunatics amongst other things.
3. Some aphorisms contained lines that were anti-nationalist, potentially put in purposely where they otherwise mightn't have been to deter claims that his philosophy that the book promotes through it's distain for Christianity isn't in fact a Nationalist one.

Next Steps

Having read the books by Nietzsche I had initially earmarked, I'm going to also read Human, All Too Human, as noticing the difference between the Antichrist and his other books, I wanted to see if there was anything noticably different between Human, All Too Human and The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and Beyond Good and Evil that might be useful or important.
