I'd say read the bible first, new testament preferably, old testament is fine but it becomes useful a bit later, get overwhelmed with questions since it's very metaphorical, and then check out a couple local communities and genuinely ask the priests for commentary. Ask them a lot of questions, and listen to the priests that seem honest and unbiased, I guess. If you get unlucky and you didn't like any of the answers remember about the Pharisees and move on. In general, monks tend to be better the less popular their monastery is, but completely inaccessible places are bad for us noobs since monks there genuinely don't want any contact with the world, so check the middle grounds, if that's possible for you.

this anon also give good advice, also when evaluating opinions online in general try to avoid both angry unsatisfied people and honey sweet "enlightened" folks, especially if they claim it themselves, unless they make a VERY compelling argument, logic always comes first.
