Learning from great thinkers hack: Skip their formal writing but find the videos/books/blogs where they are interviewed live The language will be simpler and thus easier to get every time. I found this the best way to learn the views of Drucker, Chomsky and many others.
Had same experience trying to read Girard. His writing was incomprehensible.
