Having read, I think, all of his books available in English, I'd say this was his best. He's an awesome writer, I always entirely forget how brilliant he is. If you've not read Bataille yet I can't recommend him highly enough. In a similar vein, but darker.

Just a sort of prelude to my rereading it and maybe understanding it.

I admire you for trying. I can't think of anyone I've met that happily says they've got that book... bearing in mind that, unlike a lot of people, I know about 30-odd who've tried. It's a fucking monster of pain. Which reminds me, must batter my head against it again at some point in the future.
I'm dipping in and out of Kant's 3rd Critique and Deleuze's 1000 plateaus with a side-order of re-reading Homer for my lunch breaks.
