I think this came up in a thread where I mentioned I was reading "only Deleuze and poetry" for a month and you asked me about it. A Spinoza academic jumped in somehow and told me the reading was shallow. I'll try to pull it up
I was just replying to your Spinoza post: Deleuze's Spinoza: Practical Ethics is very interesting and surpringly comprehensible, though I've been told his reading of Spinoza is "shallow"

Some stuff seems to be missing. I remember replying to you, for one. Here's what I can see of his posts. (Someone else who's blocked you?)pic.twitter.com/A3DcxLaW0T

Beyond that Spinoza's Ethics itself is a good place to start. The ideas are dense, but, as Deleuze notes, Spinoza has a knack for appealing to both philosophers and philosophasters (like myself)

I recommend reading Spinoza's Principles of Cartesian Philosophy before his Ethics. It provides most of the background Spinoza assumes you know. https://archive.org/details/principlesdescar00spin …
