You only really need to read: What is Orthodox Marxism?, Class Consciousness, and Reification and the Consciousness of the Proletariat. The rest is outdated, wrong or superfluous. But these three essays are amazing at highlighting key theoretical points of confusion in Marxism, as well as the best definitions of what it is, and link up nicely with later Critical Theory, like Adorno.
