Welcome. Lots to read, yes. But well worth it.
If you're totally unfamiliar with NRx, the movement coalesced around the writings of Mencius Moldbug, a blogger who has written several excellent book-length series' of posts, the foremost of which are his Open Letter and Gentle Introduction. Someone has helpfully compiled them on Amazon for the Kindle e-book reader.
Speaking of Kindle, I'd recommend getting one. NRx is about reading old books that tell you the uncomfortable truth, in a world that has become weary of truth. Amazon has an incredible number of old books available for free on Kindle, and someone has made Moldbug's Open Letter and Gentle Introduction available for Kindle [here](

Enjoy.

P.S. Hestia if you're listening, we could use more core NRx works in Kindle format, e.g. the Land DE essay.
A flippant response might read "Your list, with 'The Annotated' [0 - 4] prepended to each entry". Less glibly, I concur with /u/dvdvh, that it is necessary to build a broad recognition of the landscape of history before one goes exploring the geological forces that shaped it. This can be accomplished by picking your favorite time, place, or culture, querying a suitable encyclopedia entry, taking notes if desired, and expanding from there; I personally find the histories of Hungary [5] and Uzbekistan (Sogdiana/Transoxiana) [6] to hold criminally low profiles in the lay-historian's mindset.
For historical perspectives orthogonal to any one physical dimension, I would recommend military histories, which, truer to your own suggestions, can be classical original sources, e.g. Xenophon's "Anabasis" [7], so long as one is willing to research details assumed known by the authors. B. H. Liddell Hart's "Strategy" [8] specifically takes the position that military science prerequisites a knowledge of precedents, and so provides it.
