The first one I read was Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda, which was a great introduction. It's short and very easy to get into. You can read it in an afternoon. It's actually from a speech he gave, so you can probably find the audio online for free and listen to it instead if you prefer.

But his best book, in my opinion, is Understanding Power. It's more of a collection of essays, speeches and interviews, but it really shaped my understanding of the world better than any other book I have read. I can't recommend this book enough.

If you're more interested in libertarian socialism, in addition to Understanding Power, read Chomsky on Anarchism. He presents the theories in very clear language, instead of being overly theoretical.

If you're more interested in his writings on US foreign policy, also read either Failed States or Hegemony or Survival.

Enjoy!

  You want something on cognitive science?
  
  I recommend you take a look at David Graeber and David Wengrow's Farewell to the childhood of man: ritual, seasonality, and the origins of inequality.
  
  
  Well...I don't what else.
  
  The neuroscientist Jean-Didier Vincent is related to and is a fan of the anarchist Elisée Réclus, so maybe you could read his book The Custom-Made Brain: Cerebral Plasticity, Regeneration, and Enhancement. Agustín Fuentes'(who's kind of a lefty) book The Creative Spark: How Imagination Made Humans Exceptional, maybe.
