I notice people debate what order to read his books in.

It's seeming more apparent that the only proper way is chronological.

Though Twilight of the Idols was my first, and a seemingly good overview and overall easier to digest than most of the others.

I can see how some can say there are contradictions in his thought, but not really when read in chronological order, maybe more of just recanting previous beliefs than contradiction.

And had he lived another 30 years, he probably would've recanted his views on world Jewry, smited them, and his books would have a 2-star rating on Amazon as a crazy inconsistent Nazi.
