Has anyone here read the Zhuangzi?

I'm trying to get into classical Chinese philosophy and after reading the Tao Te Ching, I am now reading the Zhuangzi. I read the Tao Te Ching as something like a guide to how to live, but the Zhuangzi is more weird. Is it possible to analyze the Zhuangzi in the same way as you analyze the Republic or the Ethics? When I read the Paraable of the Burnt Wheel, I can't help but think that there is some sort of implicit claim on how to live your life, but I also think that the Zhuangzi is something different.
