I've been going through this. I'm currently on History of the C.P.S.U. (B). There are a shit ton of books on the list and it has them organized into levels going from beginner, intermediate, advanced, and very advanced. Each level has 3 or 4 trimesters, each with a generous selection of works to read. It also has a background reading section for pre-beginners. While the background reading list has some of the usual suspects like the 'Festo, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, and Stalin's introductory text Dialectical and Historical Materialism, it also has some lesser seen picks like works that Adoratsky and Cornforth made on dialectical materialism.

Speaking of lesser seen picks, there are some works on several of the levels I don't normally see mentioned here or on Hexbear, like the Shanghai textbook on political economy, Documents of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, some Plekhanov, some Lukacs, some of Gramsci's works that aren't his prison notebooks, etc.

Have you read Capital?

i would recommend joining a reading group, preferably one associated with a party or org
reading on your own is all well and good, but if you have no one to correct misunderstandings then you will end up like the surprising amount of people i see in marxist spaces who do not know the difference between labor and labor-power, for example

Selfishly, I made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list I like to share. The target reader is the US liberal curious about Communist theory and practice, so it doesn't really get down and dirty with Capital, Anti-Dühring, or figures like Plekhanov or Chernyshevsky, but it does have a structured order intended to build up a comprehensive base that the reader can use to then go and read whatever they please as they further their education on their own.
