There is a place for interesting left-field ideas in science and philosophy, and Jung had the most interesting ideas. But if ideas are the only thing, it leads to nothing.
Jung is a David Lynch of psychiatry. Jung's work is art and self-expression from a very creative and unique mind.
It's best to read him as an artist, unique person. Jung was able to interact with his unconscious. He was discussing with imaginary people while he was completely awake. He wandered in dream-like states and remembered what happened.
I have read Jung's CW 9, 11, 12 and 16 and bits and pieces from the rest, but I think when I read The Red Book things really changed for how I see his work.
It is extremely raw material, of an alienist on the verge of madness, and yet he managed to extract the deepest reason out of the experience.
I think it is really worth reading, but in compliment with the images he drew. Maybe you can still buy the reader's edition and look at the images online, as 200$ is a lot, but if you can afford it i would recommend to get the big book.
