If you get the final item (Foucault Reader), be sure to spend lots of time
on Nietzsche, Genealogy, History. Perhaps because I started out as a
historian, I found this to be the text that "cracked open" Foucault for
me. I still read it over, from time to time, to recapture the trace of
pleasure-agony it afforded me.
