I'm glad it worked out for you, but you also have to keep in mind not to scare people away when they're just starting out. D&R is filled with a ton of jargon and countless classical concepts that are invoked without being explained and while someone can still get something out of it, it would probably be for the best to start with the easier texts and work towards D&R. That way, when Deleuze starts describing the virtual for example you'll have some idea what it is because you've read Proust & Signs beforehand.

>she said read Deleuze and find out

Ironically, obsessions with identities of all kinds (including gender) is pretty anti-Deleuzian. His stance is pretty much "chill brah, stop trying to contain and limit things by classifying them".

Freud was a pseud; you know it's true because it rhymes

>Does he have materials with Guattari that are not C&S?
Off the top of my head, they wrote the Kafka book in between Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus, they did some interviews together (Deleuze interviews are always worth reading, they explain a lot) and they finished their collab with What is Philosophy? which is also worth reading, although rumor has it that only Deleuze wrote it and Guattari just signed it.

>How are Guattari's solo work?
Even more bonkers than the one with Deleuze (who was supposedly the stabilizing force), but if you're used to the style they're readable. Some of Guattari's concepts like transversality are just as good as Deleuze's contributions.

>Has Deleuze talked about aesthetics anywhere?

Implicitly all the time since Nietzsche was all about the philosopher-artist and turning life into a work of art. Explicitly, he wrote a book about Francis Bacon (the painter) and two books on Cinema. He also talks about music constantly. Not sure about aesthetics as a discipline, but there are many connections to be made like with D's theory of encounters which he talks about in the Abecedaire among other places.
