I'm decently sure I want to start with Reform or Rev and State and Rev, but I'm interested in other suggestions. Also I have been warned away from starting with Kapital lmao
The best beginner theory book is Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. Its short and lays the foundation for basically everything else you'll ever read. Its the history lesson the world needs. State and Rev was the first theory I ever read but I didn't get as much out of it as I could have.

state and rev is cool because it just suddenly ends with like AN: brb gonna go do lenin shit
Honestly Das Kapital isn't NEARLY as hard to read as you'd assume a 19th century economics book by some German guy is.
He repeats concepts a lot.... too much sometimes lol. Like fuck me Karl yeah I understood the Labor Theory of Value ten chapters ago.
Definitely should be somewhere earlyish on your list - so much else references it.
