wondering about a book

[griff8605]

Recently my mother, knowing my interest in reading has peaked over the last several months, got me the book Thus Spake Zarathustra at the store and I'm not entirely sure what it is. She said she had heard of it when she was a kid but that was about it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what this is and what it's about. Since I currently have a few books ahead of it in the line of my future reads I figured I'd just find out if it is worth keeping or not. I should also mention that my family and I are a strictly Christian family, after a very brief search online I may recall seeing something about religion in this book. Any help would be appreciated.
