Title is mostly a joke, but I've been interested in anarchist theory for a while and am curious where to get started!
Also, The Dispossessed is really good, huh?

I'll just get the obvious one out of the way and recommend The Conquest of Bread by Pyotr Kropotkin; it's aged pretty well and isn't a terribly difficult read.
I have YouTube recs! Audible Anarchist on YouTube if you’d like the theory to be read to you. Similarly, Zoe Baker aka Anarchopac is a great resource on there. As is Anark, who has a series of videos about why the State is Counter-revolutionary.
As for books: you can’t go wrong with David Graeber’s Are You an Anarchist? (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-are-you-an-anarchist-the-answer-may-surprise-you) As well as Mutual Aid and Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin.
I know this post is kinda old, but Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos is imo the best and most accessible introduction to modern anarchism around https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works
