Not all of it... Actually the two Foucault books that I find the most fun I left at home cause I knew I wouldn't need them, both from 1963: his study of Raymond Roussel and Birth of the Clinique. He was still very close to avant-garde literature back then, very influenced by Bataille, Blanchot and Klossowski, and his writing had an edge which his later work often lacks, in my own humble opinion.
