Analytic Philosophy Reading Guide?

I think I made a bad mistake thinking it's all logic and math and sticking to Wittgenstein and Russell.

davidson and sellars are the only ones worth reading and even at that it sucks and is a waste of time

Start with Frege, "Sense and Reference" and "The Thought." Next do Russell, "On Denoting" and The Philosophy of Logical Atomism. Then Wittgenstein's Tractatus. After this, Carnap's Aufbau (The Logical Structure of the World) and his paper "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology." Now you hit your first fork in the road. Option A: British ordinary language philosophy. The three main books here are Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, Ryle's The Concept of Mind, and Austin's Sense and Sensibilia. Read Strawson's "On Referring" as well. After you get some idea of what ordinary language philosophy is about, read Grice to see a response. Option B: American Neopragmatism. It's essential to read Quine's "On What There Is" and "Two Dogmas of Empiricism," Sellars' "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind," and Davidson's "On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme." In addition, you should read Quine's Word and Object, Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and Putnam's Reason, Truth, and History. Somewhere along the line you should familiarize yourself with Goodman too. At this point you are ready to read the culmination of the neopragmatism with Rorty's Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. After this, you are ready to read the revival of metaphysics, which paradoxically stems from Quine. Begin with Kripke's Naming and Necessity and read at the very least Lewis' On the Plurality of Worlds.
