Anything I should read before Stirner or can you just dive into it?
Dive into it. Its mostly a rebuttal of things that came before anyway.

Read ego and its own. Then read the newer translation the unique and its property. I would also recommend reading Marx's critiques of Stirner if you're interested.

I've never been a guy that loves read philosophy, but I'd like to read Stirner, can I start reading Ego and Its Own?

I thought his name was marx stirner and people used the names interchangeably. WTF mind blown

Who the fuck would read Marx's critique on Stirner? I have nothing against Marx as a great intellectual, but The German Ideology is a fucking embarrassment of an argument, and it is perhaps the only time I've ever wanted to devolve into Molyneux posting. It is a text more at home in a /lit/ archive than a respected thinker's bibliography, since it is quite literally nothing but ad hominem, straw manning, etc., one after another. Seeing Marx in this triggered state lowered my opinion of him as a person substantially because I've never seen a philosopher succumb to a high school mentality, and I believe that had Marx published The German Ideology during his lifetime, he would have been thoroughly discredited among most of the Young Hegelians as being a bratty, snarky cunt. I would have been ashamed to write hundreds of pages of bullshit like that, and I wonder why he didn't burn it after his much-needed venting session.
On a second thought, read The German Ideology after reading The Ego and Its Own if you want to understand just how powerful Max Stirner's critique is. It triggers even the most famous intellectual juggernauts, who devolve into snotty activist-like behavior to try to smother it out of existence. I don't think there's quite another endorsement for a book than that.
