Kierkegaard was right about everything. Either/Or should have

Want to get into him, where do I start?
I'm not well versed with real philosophy either, should I become familiar with others first? I remember some chart that said Hegel was essential to getting Kierkegaard. If so where to start with him?

Sure, you'd need a knowledge of Hegelian terms, but just pick up a copy of Either/Or and start reading. You'll see how much of a father he really is.

I can't wait to really start reading Kierkegaard. Every time I see some excerpt from him or a summary of one of his ideas, I get more excited.

One sticks one’s finger into the soil to tell by the smell in what land one is: I stick my finger in existence — it smells of nothing. Where am I? Who am I? How came I here? What is this thing called the world? What does this world mean? Who is it that has lured me into the world? Why was I not consulted, why not made acquainted with its manners and customs instead of throwing me into the ranks, as if I had been bought by a kidnapper, a dealer in souls? How did I obtain an interest in this big enterprise they call reality? Why should I have an interest in it? Is it not a voluntary concern? And if I am to be compelled to take part in it, where is the director? I should like to make a remark to him. Is there no director? Whither shall I turn with my complaint?

>a dealer in souls

Dialectical little shit.

So all I'd need is a glossary of Hegel terms to get started? That's pretty easy.

Even without that, Churchyard is a mildly difficult read. I've started reading philosophy with him, only to later try and read the Greeks, because I felt I needed to, to understand his more difficult works.
