I'm still a newfag. I've read through Nietzsche's main works, multiple writings from C.S. Peirce and William James, second-hand books on the three big Greek philosophers, and Ludovici, who is thus far my absolute favourite philosopher. All of his stuff is online for free. Although I have a decent introductory idea on all the major philosophers.

I'm cautious of trying to read Schopenhauer because pessimism doesn't sit well with me, especially not after reading Nietzsche.

How do I remember what I read better? When I read through a book I forget almost everything. Do I take notes or something?

What's keeping you from reading Schopenhauer?

After all, Nietzsche owes Schopenhauer everything. His philosophy is an inferior variant of Schopenhauer's. Originals > Copies

You can never forget Schopenhauer because his thought is excruciatingly simple. All he does in his books is develop that thought with the help of scientific knowledge of his time.

1) Laziness + I'm going through other stuff atm

2) I was under the impression that you have to understand Kant before you go for Schopey?

All you need to understand Schopenhauer is to know how to read, seriously.

You could say all you need to read Schopenhauer is the will to do so
