I am no expert on this, keep away from
Modern/Fundamental Chess openings (MCO/FCO) not quite ready to memorize opening theory is my guess.
303 tricky chess series mates,puzzels,tactics
Chess Master vs Chess Amature By Max Euwe
Resseas Your Chess By Jeremy Silman (and the workbook) they should be good to start with.
Theres no winning formula fo this as far as I know :(
the tactics ones you dont read them as a book, you do regular exercice with them like 15 minutes a day. The others just read in any order and good luck

I would recommend Chess Mentor here instead of a book. It's like one huge and comprehensive but interactive book.

Oh by god please - alphabetical. Anything else will be an onslaught of cognitive dissonance and you'll have to sit in a dark room for two days.

If you are serious about getting not just better at chess, but good, then pay no attention to what has been said by others so far and do the following:
1. Read "Rapid Chess Improvement" by Michael de la Maza immediately!
2. Read it again.
3. Believe what he says and DO it!
4. Get the book"Chess Tactics for Champions" by Susan Polgar and use it in conjunction with the training that is recommended for you to do in "Rapid Chess Improvement" instead of the program "CT-Art" (as recommended in the book).
5. After you're done with the Polgar book get "The Complete Chess Workout" and "The Complete Chess Workout 2" by Richard Palliser, as well as "Pandolfini's Endgame Course" by Bruce Pandolfini and study them in the same way as you did the Polgar book. Learn your openings as outlined in "Rapid Chess Improvement".
6. If you can do the work and stick with it, you can get good at chess.

Hehe, isn't your list in reverse order? At least for 1 through 4. How about instead of reading the pep talk twice he first gets Polgar's book and then solves tactical problems like a madman. I think that would be much more efficient.
By the way did you follow de la Maza's system? What was your experience like? How about improvement? I'm honestly curious :)
