Probably the Conquest of Bread and whatever Bakunin's most famous book is.

But remember that every anarchist is a closeted authoritarian.

None really. All of them rely on a complete ignorance of what a human being is and how society works. Just skip this ideology.

Every anarchist imagines himself the captain of the mob he intends to be in command of society.

But Bakunin's critique of Marx was that communism is closeted authoritarianism

For early thoughts on anarcho-communism, already mentioned; Bakunin, Kropotkin and Malatesta, are best. Though it's also good to get some grounding in Proudhon for coming up with a lot of important ideals like challenging all unjustifiable hierarchies, and why we ought to be skeptical of state run elections. I recommend this book, but I have a feeling you might want to skip ahead to Bookchin. A former communist turned anarchist, turned hybrid, so basically ancom2.0
