Honestly, anti-oedipus is all about Freudian psychoanalysis and I couldn’t get into it. It’s not really relevant if you’re not super familiar with what it’s referencing (meaning you need to have read Freud’s specific case studies)
If you’re invested in Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus is probably a better starting point. I actually just started it the other day. There are free PDFs readily available.
That said, if you want to start reading theory you should start with the communist manifesto or something, Deleuze is pretty abstract.

the terms make this harder than the text?
Not sure I understand your question.
