I was quite surprised by this one. K is sometimes referred to as a kind of 'lesser Nietzsche', or an exclusively Christian philosopher. The Nietzsche link is real (and fantastic). F+T is gorgeously written, despite K's denial of the 'poet' label. It explores a wonderful variety of texts - both testaments, Faust, Shakespeare, Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis, and a peculiar story about a merman that I didn't quite follow.

It's also shockingly effective, that is, concise, philosophically. The opening to problema II induced me to annotate a wow. Sharp, elastic writing. I'm looking forward to eventually reading Either/Or.
