Wendler’s programs are great but buyer beware, his books are really hard to understand unless you already understand his programming. There is a definite bootstrapping problem there that doesn’t exist with all authors.

Agreed. He would really benefit from an editor. I think the usual recommendation for reading order is basically this: https://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom/comments/6g5m8o/book_rev...
For clearer writing and simpler programming, I would go for Tactical Barbell and Simple and Sinister over Wendler.
Doug Hepburn's programs (which can be found online with a minute of Googling) are also great for people looking at Wendler, but want something simple that can be run nearly indefinitely.
