Fair enough.

Do you have any suggestions of other theories that would be better worth the time to read up on?

As others have said, it really depends what level you're on and what you're interested in. At the very least I recommend familiarity with quantum field theories before even attempting to touch more speculative physics. This includes general Yang-Mills theories and their algebraic underpinnings.
