I can recommend more if you want.

Don't start with his books. Go:
Structure, Sign & Play
Différance
Signature Event Context
THEN read Of Grammatology

You could also try "Derrida" by Geoffrey Bennington. It's not exactly easy, but it's endorsed by Rorty and subtly endorsed by Derrida himself since he contributed to it ... even though his contribution calls into question Bennington's efforts ... it's kind of complicated. I recommend it though anyway.

I am interested but not impressed.

Is it me or has western society destroyed everything except the preservation of the individual and economic effeciency?
Its literally the credo of the present. I dont want ot be harmed or bothered and I want as many material goods as possible..
I dont see how capitalist effeciency goes hand in hand with human, long term existence as a species.
