Critique of Pure Reason isn't an easy read either.

'The Republic' by Plato is my recommendation OP.

The answer is always Plato's Republic. Just make sure you read Bloom's (Basic Books), Waterfield's (Oxford World's Classics) or Reeve's (Hackett) translation. Bloom's is the most faithful to the original Greek and comes with a big fatass Interpretive Essay that Straussians are so fond of, and are the most commonly recommended in university classrooms. Waterfield's is not bad at all, comes with lots of useful notes, and is by far the cheapest book if you want to buy one. Reeve is famous for his edit of Grube's translation, and own translation is extremely readable, tells you who's speaking which is convenient if you're easily confused, and is relatively inexpensive.

If you don't mind reading scanned pages on your monitory, I have the Bloom translation for download:
