I would assume it would be easy for you to pick up German.

It seems to me that Norwegian would be much closer to German than English is - it looks from my limited contact with it that Norwegian didn't expropriate all the Latin and Norman French that has changed English, and given how easy it is for an English speaker to understand simple words in German just by guessing, I would assume it would be even easier for you.
It was an uneven book for me, but there are certainly LOTS of isolated parts that I feel I will be quoting or referring to for the rest of my life, and so my verdict is an unqualified "great", but I'm not sure if most of the people at this site would care to plow through six-eight pages of Zarathustra fulminating at the world to get to one of those great parts.
On the eternal return, I believe it was a direct response to Schopenhauer's thoughts on the subject. So much of Nietzsche was a response to Schopenhauer, yet it's amazing how much greater (qualitatively and quantitatively) the response was than the originator.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

"Easy" is relative.
