This is a great list if you don't want to start with the Greeks (although you should!). I would adjust it a little, though:
>Descartes' Meditations
>Locke's Essay
>Berkeley's Principles
>Leibniz's Monadology
>Hume's Enquiry (more mature than the Treatise, therefore more charitable)
>Kant's Critique of Pure Reason
Spinoza's Ethics is an interesting project, but understanding Leibniz's monadology is VERY useful for understanding Kant. Hume is basically Berkeley, without a divine order or a notion of personal identity. If you think—as you work your way through the list—that all these philosophers have their heads so far up their own asses, Thomas Reid is a breath of fresh air: he critiques Descartes, Locke, Berkeley and Hume pretty well, though his critique of Hume is not as substantive as Kant's.

After Kant, you could read Hegel and then the road diverges: the German Idealists and their critics. The best critics are Kierkegaard and Nietzsche, and which one of those two you prefer says a good deal about your mental health.

Also, if you want to get into ethics, it's very simple:
>Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics
>Kant's Grundlegung
>Mill's Utilitarianism
Those three are the classic trinity, and are the three most popular ethical systems in play today. All of them are very short, but read them in that order. If you want a fourth way, try Dewey's naturalism.

Welcome to piracy. Like you, a lot of us have been driven to this life because we're fed up jumping through the bullshit hoops they put our stuff behind.

Bookzz.org and http://gen.lib.rus.ec/ are my favourites but you can scour the torrent trackers like https://extratorrent.unblockall.xyz/ if you want.
