I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?

I'm digging anarchists' more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I'm currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated

I just read this: https://slrpnk.net/post/9405230

and the OP (though not the pamphlet author) sent me here.

Specifically, with a question. The author mentions offhandedly that in an anarchistic society there would be no need for lawyers. But in a society governed by consensus and consent, wouldn't professional advocates be more useful, not less? Any insight?

Beyond theory I found practical examples were extremely helpful in understanding how anarchist politics relate to real life, so I'd recommend Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women's Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan.

Revolution in Rojava: Democratic Autonomy and Women’s Liberation in Syrian Kurdistan

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in new ways of community building or the current events unfolding in the region.

I highly recommend "An Anarchist FAQ" :

This FAQ is what turned me to an Anarchist.
