Against the State
If you look at the sort of "ancap reading list" it's a bit daunting at first, especially the economic tomes.
So to start off there's actually a GREAT book by Lew Rockwell(I say great because it's amazing at exposing you to the simplicity of these ideas without totally overwhelming you):

I agree that it is better than the current system of taxation and is more logical than income tax. However, I still see land as a commodity to be bought and sold, just like any other commodity, even if its supply is limited. Gold and Bitcoin, among other things, are also limited in supply yet they shouldn't be taxed as if you own some, it's yours. But once again yes, I would prefer a land value tax over income, sales, capital gains, etc. taxes. The concept is closer to libertarian ideals especially if it's the only tax that exists.
As per books that I'd recommend, it would be good to start with Choice
Cooperation, Enterprise, and Human Action

If you want something a little bit more extreme but is still incredibly good philosophically, and exposes a lot of misconceptions and lies in American society, try Against the State: An Anarcho-Capitalist Manifesto by Rockwell Jr. and Llewellyn H.: https://www.amazon.com/Against-State-Anarcho-Capitalist-Llewellyn-Rockwell/dp/0990463109 This is the equivalent of Karl Marx's communist manifesto, but for ancaps :)
