Is Jacques Derrida actually worth reading, or his deconstructionism just as nonsensical as Foucault?

Hey! Discipline and Punish is awesome! Don't say such things about Foucault!
My guess is you're attemping to troll, good sir. But I can't take you seriously. I just ate pizza I'm listening to a french girl who in a vocaroo thread read a bit of La Nausée. I'm feeling so happy I would hug you whoever you are!

De la Grammatologie is pretty necessary if you want to actually understand a good chunk of contemporary critical theory, as well as arguably the Structuralism that came before it.

Note that there is a difference between understanding a theory and personally subscribing to it.

Nope. Derrida and Paul de Man are one trick ponies. Once you understand the kernel of deconstruction (you will understand it - its not difficult) you really don't need to read much.

Reading Derrida looks a bit like this TEXT [there is nothing outside of this] [and that] [and that] [and that] TEXT

It's a trick he borrows from Kierkegaard via Borges, I think.

Read Kierkegaard, Borges instead.
