Suzanne Ciani's Buchla Cookbook
The linked page itself couldn't be fetched, so this Hacker News thread centers on the discussion of Suzanne Ciani's Buchla Cookbook. Commenters compare modular synths to a swimming pool: wonderful when someone nearby handles the grind so you can simply enjoy it. One user says they talked themselves out of investing in modular gear, lacking the patience for cables when all they want is to play.
Once you can start to visualize the voltage flow in your brain its so much fun to deal with the cables.

This is an amazing resource, whether you're into hardware modular synths or virtual ones like VCV Rack and Cardinal. Read, learn, enjoy, and play.
P.S. I'll always remember first discovering Suzanne Ciani while watching 321 Contact as a child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJiTDhOTamo

I really should revive the Minimoog clone I built senior year of HS/first year of college...

Tiptop Audio has a collaboration with Buchla where they're making eurorack versions of most of the classic models. Some would be very good starter modules. https://tiptopaudio.com/buchla/
