>The problem with Nietzsche is that there is so much philosophic-historic context that reading him on your own is basically a waste of time

Nah, not a waste of time. Plus, most modern editions of his books have a chapter explaining the historical context, where certain ideas first emerged and so on. Stirner is a /lit/ meme, but he and Nietzsche have basically the same gist, especially EcceHomo-Nietzsche. If you want to understand Nietzsche, the actual order in which his books came out is pretty good, but in hindsight I'd read The Gay Science after Zarathustra since it helps clarify a lot of the ideas exposed there and explains certain others even better.

Sure, you could read Deleuze's stuff, but that's like reading about how football developed instead of just going out and playing. So just go for it senpai. Personally I'm a bit biased since he's one of my favorites and his works actually changed my whole life, but his stuff is definitely worth reading, even though it may be a bit confusing at first.
