On the topic du jour:
That ~value~ you can get from reading the original weird prose of a philosopher rather than a cleaned up summary of their ideas? You can actually get some similar value by just reading weird, obscure, or old things in general. Open up Project Gutenberg and pick something random. Read a dusty ass monograph on a topic you know little about. Be the first non-committee-member to read some person's PhD thesis. Read the least read book by an otherwise famous author. Read the journal of someone who died over a century ago.
Underrated thing to do.
