Directed towards you, but also in general: Jung often masquerades as simple philosopher/psychoanalyst with poor writing ability, but if you are able to take into account what's going on behind the scenes, and what Jung is *really* trying to say, he acquires as much depth and difficulty as Nietszche or Heidegger. You'll need some background on the psychoanalytical movement and its relation to Nietszche and Marx, as well as some critical perspectives of Jung to really understand him (I recommend Kaufmann's Discovering the Mind Volume 3, namely the sections on Freud & Jung, Adler is mostly anecdotal for your understanding). That being said, Jung is very boring in my experience reading him; he tends to meander around, changing subjects meaninglessly before ending a line of thought without a conclusion. Don't go into it if you're not acutely interested in what he has to say.

I really don't know. I can choose between Inferno (I don't have the other 2 books), Carlyle's The French Revolution, V., 2666, Demons or The Idiot. Or I can focus on philosophy for a bit longer (Nietzsche and Plato)
