Haha, have you read On the Genealogy of Morality now? Not a bad mistake to make
>he really doesn't bother with well-substantiated, coherent arguments in that one either..
Well, that is a bit his style, and one of the main points of criticism of his writings (and basically why a lot of people dislike continental philosophy in general, a lot of it is writtenlike that). Nietzsche really prefers to write in a way that emphasizes style over substance, often indeed to the detriment of the clarity of the ideas he tries to present. It helps not to focus too much on the individual arguments, logical consistency etc., but to "read through it" and get the general gist, a bit like reading poetry.
