It depends on which topic you are interested in.
Many of his works focus on Spanish history and politics so those would probably not be very interested for people from other countries.

The most interesting is probably El mito de la izquierda (The left wing's myth or something like that), were he proposes the differentiation of the left wing throughout history in 6 different generations, which would be the radical/jacobin, liberal left, libertarian/anarchist, socialdemocratic, communist and the last one is the asian/maoist left.
He argues that all the generations have defined goals concerning the state, from total socialization to its destruction, which makes them not only incompatible, but often times at war with each other. Which is why the left wing is a myth, because there isn't one left but many.
Then he talks about the 'undefined' left, which lack these political goals concerning the state, and are just focusing on adjective issues, often times based on fashionable ideas, like ecologism, racism, etc. Those would be the postmodern leftists so common in modern times, lacking any political project and thus unable to produce significant change in society.
The undefined left would be:
Extravagant, typical of NGOs or religious groups, based on utopism
Rambling/wandering (divagante in Spanish), typical from aritsts and philosophers, focusing on aesthetics or morals.
Fundamentalist, based on the purity of ideoological thought that renders them unable to practical political activity.

There are other books on different topics, from the theory of science, the birth of religions, and so on.
Hope this makes anyone interested in reading him.

This man is slowly making me lose my enjoyment of reading Don Quijote
I would take everything written in the book at face value, as if it were a work of satire
Looking at his analysis and meta analysis of the book has caused me to also analyse what I'm reading in turn instead of just enjoying it
I regret learning about him desu
