Gonna depend on how you want to approach it.

My personal path has been to start with 'Taoism: An essential Guide' by Eva Wong. This is lighter on the practice and honestly more work than anything else I've read, but it is fantastic in giving you a broad overview of the history and variety of Taoist thought.

Tao Te Ching (multiple translations recommended) is mind-bending. It's very brief if you compare it to something like the bible, but can pack more in a verse than most books put in a chapter.

Then if you want to start getting into the real good stuff- Opening the Dragon Gate is a top notch read that will strain your limits of belief, but is phenomenal.

The textbook Chinese Medical Qigong (pic related) is great for learning their health cultivation practices.
