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.

Taleb is the reverse case though. His books read well IMO, but i don't know how can anyone comprehend his videos without reading his stuff first.

When you have a moment, please suggest some highly technical esoteric academic works in old Hungarian. I too am looking for a bit of light reading.
