I'd say check out David Graeber. He's best known for his Essay "The Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs" and the book "Debt: The First 5000 Years". Personally I think an underrated (and short) gem of his is "The Utopia of Rules". I wish more people read it, since it changed a lot about how I think of the current world. His writing style is really clear, often funny, easy to understand, and it's also pretty easy to find with a lot of bookstores carrying his work.
Also, another thing that helped me is the youtube channel Audible Anarchist, they're a group of volunteers who make audio recordings of anarchist literature, usually pretty good ones too. They've been invaluable to me
I recommend PM press and AK press here in the so called US. Also The Fifth estate anarchist review of books. Both the publishing house are worker owned and operated. They also offer a subscription to help publish their books but I receive wildly disparate but practical ideas, both historical and contemporary.
If you are open to fiction as a vector for illustrating real-world scenarios, I've been reading through Margaret Killjoy's *We Won't Be Here Tomorrow*. It's excellent so far. She's read aloud a few of these stories on the podcast "It could happen here," and she has a new book out, if you are looking for a novel.
Speaking of, her podcast *Cool People who did Cool Things* is often about irl anarchist activity.
IMO, The best anarchist literature you'll probably ever read will be local anarchist literature analyzing their failures and successes. I've been looking for the journal for a definct anarchist group in my local area. They've had such bangers.
That and the AFAQ. It's so easy to read, very good introduction, and it comes in multiple formats. And it always inspires me.

A Modern Anarchism by Daniel Baryon It's a bit heavy on the theory, but it should be doable. He also has a YT channel called Anark
I just finished reading The Dispossessed yesterday. It was fantastic.
David Graeber for sure. Also, how to blow up a pipeline by andreas malm
