the stephen overy thesis on r/theoryfiction is pretty solid, covers all of his major influences and so on. anna greenspan's as well. i don't think you need to worry about not having completely sorted out kant or marx or whoever before doing so. you can get into those guys later if you're still interested, or not.

the world lacks as good an exegete for pic rel as zizek has been for hegel and lacan, which is too bad. but you'll want to tackle both volumes of capitalism and schizophrenia as well. get to know uncle gilles and uncle felix. even if land isn't your thing those guys are still based as all hell.

even though he doesn't have a whole lot to do with land, and i am an admitted homer for him, some time with heidegger as well wouldn't be a crazy idea. but that's maybe going off in another direction.

Where do I start with Deleuze? I want to get into a thousand plateaus.
