OK, did chuckle. Though desu Spinoza and his veiws on The Jewish community in Theologico-Political treatise actual is what made me take the anti-semetic pill desu.

Tractatus theologico politicus

I also highly recommend Strauss's writings on Spinoza and esotericism. Read Berlin as well.

With Deleuze's books on Spinoza, then you can start with the Ethics. In my opinion he's the best rationalist.

The fragment on Understanding, then Ethics.
