How to into literary theory? Any good overviews of different disciplines? Or is it even worth the extra understanding you can get out of literature

Literary theory is a meme field, its inferior to pure philosophy and its inferior to actually reading literature
Leave it for dykes, jews and faggots
From Work to Text by Roland barthes. Its short
Beginning Theory: An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory 3rd Edition by Peter Barry is a decent read.
This is interesting.
Literary theory is total horseshit. All of it.

It was great fun to do and I learned a lot but it's completely useless. I did mine over ten years ago but it was a different world then. I don't advise anyone to do one now unless they're wealthy or retired.
