MP is amazing. Reading Part One of his Phenomenology of Perception obliterated my representationalist thinking. You should consider reading Husserl & Kant before him though.

Like this anon said, the writing can be quite difficult. The secondary lit really helps though. Though Hubert Dreyfus' gets Merleau-Ponty heroically wrong regarding rational concepts, I really recommend you read his article on skill acquisition through MP.
See Dreyfus, H.:Intelligence without Representation—Merleau-Ponty's Critique of Mental Representation: The Relevance of Phenomenology to Scientific Explanation.

Then IMMEDIATELY follow that reading with J. C. Berendzen's article: Coping Without Foundations: On Dreyfus’s Use of Merleau‐Ponty.

I can't stress how helpful these have been to wrap my head around the subject.
