Kant
Yeah, Baracka is right; Kant is a bottleneck. To seriously understand anything since him, you have to read him. I think a "serious" understanding, though, can largely be left to the academics like... well, me.
Spinoza is almost as much of a help for reading Nietzsche as Kant and Schopenhauer are.
If you're looking for some fun contemporary philosophy, read Alain Badiou's "Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil." His writing style is pretty enjoyable.
