Short but far from simple, Aphorisms on Love and Hate offers classic Nietzsche in concentrated form — witty, biting, and uncomfortably insightful.

Being a transplant into Spokane, Washington, I was fascinated to read a book set in Spokane by a local author.
I think I’ve always avoided books like this because reading classics, especially those translated from other languages into English, can be daunting. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy to read this book was.
