This is going to be first philosophy literature I bought. Is Nietzsche a good start for beginners?
Eventually will get into others.

You have to read Plato, Kant, and the Bible, try to live by the values expressed, and then read the Greek classics in order to understand what Nietzsche is getting at.

Not really, his approach is extremely prosaic and he does not neatly fit into any clear category or historical period of philosophy.

Ok, thank you.

Hm.

For context I'm a history buff wanting to get into philosophy.

Previously I have read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius since it was a recommended good read.

You can start with Nietzsche, but not with Zarathustra. Read Genealogy first, it's his most accessible book.
Starting with Nietzsche will mean you won't get some of it (philosophy is a study which builds upon its predecessors) but if you reread, read slowly and carefully and consult external sources when you're stuck you'll be able to get most of it. Nietzsche can be an intro to philosophy (not a great one), specially if what you're interested in is ethics but only if you're patient enough to take a while to read this.

No, it isn't.
Nietzsche barely even qualifies as philosophy.

He's really more of a convinced essayist commentating on philosophy.
You should just start with Plato's dialogues to get an idea of his method and then read the Repiblic, like normal people do.

Do you see now, OP, where the madness of Nietzsche shall lead you? The most utter insanity of your soul projected into the world for no purpose but to hear it echo. Is this what you wish to embrace?

He didn’t read Nitezsche, he’s probably just brown.
