Hey /lit/
Started reading this. Have absolutely no idea what the fuck Deleuze is saying. Should i continue? Is this because I have not read enough philosophy (this reason is quite probable. If it is this what should i read to prepare myself? ) Does it make more sense the second or third read? Is the effort worth it?
Also general philosophy 'what are you reading, what are you struggling with, what are you working on' thread. All philosophy welcome not just continental rubbish.

What possible reason would encourage you to start with one of the most esoteric and dense philosophers of the 20th century if you've barely read any philosophy?

This. Fuck off, OP... and start with the greeks.

It was recommended to me by my lecturer.
>he fell for the 20th century French philosophy meme
stop reading fake books

Of course it makes more sense the more you read it, but it would be limited if you don't have a clue where he comes from
He has other works which are equally hard but far much more retributive for someone jumping in without particularly knowing
greeks
descartes
kant
this is a bare minimum for deleuze
Regarding to the second topic of the thread: I'm currently on a philosophical adventure its end is (ideally) understand the work of Alain Badiou. Has anyone any knowledge about what should I get my hands into? I have drawn a path to it but it would be nice to also hear from you.

pretty sure its real dude I mean it has pages and everything

He's the Garfunkel of G&D. Just ignore him.
