the trouble with reading critics is that they spend their time writing criticism of particular texts and then i read that and then i feel like to get the most out of the criticism i need to go read the thing they're criticizing.
perhaps this is arguably the case with pretty much all writing and its sources and influences, but it's a lot more apparent in the criticism case
also the trouble with reading critics is that Derrida says a lot of complicated things I don't fully follow

also also the trouble with reading critics is that it's too easy to just interpret them as saying things i already agree with when they are maybe saying something subtly different.
