I feel the need to disclaim that though Nietzsche appears to be the hipster philosopher of choice, I do not include him here for that reason. Close inspection, which must evade said hipsters, reveals he was somewhat of a dick, and a lot of an elitist. Nevertheless, Zarathustra holds up as a work of literature, philosophy aside. Unfairly, however, I have to give him a pass on the narrative style. Though I generally dislike 3rd person omniscient, this is as much a work of philosophy as literature, and needs the omniscience of the narrator, plus it's meant to read like a religious text.
