I'm currently reading a lot of Robert Langs, who was a big deal in the 70s but now seems largely forgotten.
Besides that, Winnicott, Bion (not that I understand him), some Thomas Ogden, a whole lot of Harold Searles, a bit of Bollas, Linda Hopkins's incredible biography of Masud Khan, other stuff I'm forgetting right now.
I never heard of Robert Langs nor Masud Khan before, thanks!
Let me appropriate something I heard Jean Allouch (fantastic guy, died some 2 years ago) say:
"What interests me is madness and the way of welcoming it, which is called psychoanalysis."
I used to say I practice lacanian psychoanalysis, but more and more (thanks to exchange with colleagues, seminars and so on) I have been trying to expand my knowledge.
Just like you discovered, there are so many great ideas and authors which were simply forgotten. It's a tough path to walk!

Where do your interests lie?
