Matt,
If you are intimidated by Benjamin's Arcades Project, I'd recommend
Susan Buck-Morss's _The Dialectics of Seeing: Walter Benjamin and the
Arcades Project_ (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1989). Buck-Morss
attempts to reconstruct Benjamin's unfinished work, and it provides a
very useful entry into this complex work.
