Thank you to the 35 people who voted. That's a pretty impressive total, actually. I was thinking Freud because I'm reading Lacan's Four Fundamental Concepts right now, and he seems to assume that people know that particular text by heart. I read it in high school, which at this point is the equivalent of never reading it at all. I'll let you know how it goes, and I'll keep the miscellaneous recommendations firmly in mind.
