I highly recommend everyone to buy the book " Combat With the Self" by Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan Ḥurr al-ʻĀmilī,

Translated by Nazmina A. Virjee

Here's a short description of the book : Combat with the Self is a compilation of

traditions and sayings from the Holy Prophet

and his Household (Hadith), classified under

various subsections, all broaching the subject of

the self, its vices, temptations, strengths and

weaknesses. Based on the fact that one's self is

one's greatest enemy, the book encompasses

universally acknowledged issues of moral and

ethical value from honesty and charity to

humility and philanthropy. It consists purely of

the sayings of the Imams, through which the

reader will be left amazed at how congruent the

Imams' words are with the message of the

Qur'an.

There are many books on this list and if you wish to start somewhere, I would say read about someone you know and take their advice.

Or someone you never heard of before, but are so happy that you have found them now. Alhamdulillah

I would suggest to read about Shaikh Rajab Ali Khayyat.

I don't know if this has been posted already but I just finished reading a book called "In Search of Truth" and it was one of the best books I have ever come across. Highly recommend it. Only bad thing is that its short. Here's the introduction: Sarah, a Christian, was in her third year of college studying for a degree in engineering. She has accepted a proposal of marriage from Mohsen, a classmate who, though Muslim, does not know anything about Islam. In order to ensure that they have a happy life together, Sarah decided to embrace Islam. Mohsen tells this story:
