You probably *ought* to read lots of things, GR and M&D included. If
you don't read much else then reading both or one of them may divert
you, should you have enough tenacity to engage in their peculiar brand
of diversion, but it will probably grant you little else by way of
benefit. Start where you like. It does not really matter since
everything is connected (including GR and M&D).  But think about every
aspect of what you are reading, as text, language, a communication, a
social artefact, a piece of invention, a small scrap of world history
and, or is that or?, a great wedge of morality and (or?)  philosophy.
Remain curious and don't worry about what you don't find first (or
even fifteenth) time and you can have lots of fun.
