I would always say that if you find something boring, then you probably shouldn't bother (unless you have to for some reason), but is you want to read something on deconstruction/Marxism, then surely the obvious one is Derrida's Spectres of Marx. There's also an essay by Spivak in a collection of essays on post-structuralism - quite an old collection, I saw it (I wouldn't go so far as to say read it) in the mid 90s. Very vague I know - I have no idea what the book was called. Sorry.
