Start with Philosopher’s Stone, then move on to Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, and Order of the Phoenix.

The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State is a work from Engels which is not necessarily complex. It’s almost a history text, in fact, and is a fascinating read. Most editions have a preface which goes over the since -corrected ‘facts’ on which Engels based his conclusions (He was writing just after of the industrial revolution after all).

This work will allow you to draw simple straight lines from historical trends to current phenomena in ways you may have never thought before.

What is the relationship between the monogamous (for the woman, at least) family, private property, and in return the enslavement of women?

I should read it again

I really like Engels’ Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. It’s short and it introduces you to historical materialism very gently by contrast with utopian thinkers. It’s 3 chapters from the Anti-Dühring, which follows the same line but much more in depth and I also greatly recommend it.
