The fact that you studied Kant and Nietzsche already gives you an advantage. Even with that advantage though, I'd say start with secondary sources. Johnathan Culler's On Deconstruction is a good introduction and so is Christopher Norris's Deconstruction: Theory and Practice.
Beyond that, some primary source material would be good as well; but taking on full length works (without an instructor) might prove difficult. An anthology that I always recommend is Mark C. Taylor's Deconstruction in Context. It gives selections from Kant and Hegel, moving through Husserl and Heidegger, onto Bataille and Blanchot, and it ends with Derrida, giving you a broad sketch of the history leading up to deconstruction. From there you can decide what you want to read more of.
