Might as well dive into HA or MES. You’re not going to understand it all the first time you read it no matter what other books you read. Expect to read either multiple times
I find a lot of the older books very difficult to read because I am not too smart. After reading this thread it kind of confirmed what I thought might be the case. That more recent books are essentially works that are the result of the author reading through a lot of the books that I find difficult to read. That being said will I be missing a lot by not reading the likes of Adam Smith (as an example) ?
I have at times been ridiculed by all sides “You say are you interested in economics but never read Adam Smith .”
You should read at your level and make regular attempts at reading material thats more advanced, even in a foreign language (from time to time and when youre ready for it). You say the books are difficult to read because youre not too smart…perhaps its the other way around, youre not too smart because you havent read enough difficult books 
time to get crackin. Ps- fuck adam smith.
Thanks everyone, I’ve got my list now.
