Hey i am about 1200 elo in strength and have never read any books.I have been watching youtube analysis of famous old and modern games as well as reading about more advanced techniques and endgames.I found that something that boosted my play a bit was analysing Tals games.I am going to read a chess book to improve now and i am thinking from the classics: Nimzowitsch my system or Pachman modern chess strategy.Some people also recommend more modern books that are more dynamic and less static.Can someone help me out here?

See the "Fundamentals" section of Dan Heisman's book recommendations page. My System and Pachman's  Modern Chess Strategy are too advanced for you at the moment.

Which of the fundamentals to read before moving on to my system?

Then do these:
