I read Descartes, Spinoza, F.Bacon, J.J.Rousseau, because I found them beneficial to read. I didn't read Pascal, Marcus Aurelius, Leibniz, La Rochefoucauld.
I read Derrida but didn't read Wittgenstein. These are just a result of my personal preference. Again what is important is not which books we read but what we were able to get from our previous reading. It doesn't matter whatever the books we read.
In my early tweneties, of course I was able to get many things from my friends, besides from my reading. At that time we had no chances to talk to through the Internet. Now we've got more media than twenty years ago. Reading a book is just a part of it, still less reading the works of one particular thinker is.
Apart from that, reading Nietzsche was a dialogue with myself. Nietzsche just showed the multiplex of thought, I learned many different views from the reflections out of this multiplex.
