Being new to the Reformed tradition, you should absolutely start Jamie Smith's excellent book Letters to a Young Calvinist: An Invitation to the Reformed Tradition. It's a quick easy read best digested in small parts. It does a great job of providing an overview of the Reformed tradition that is accessible, theological, and pastoral and is the best antidote to the "cage-stage" that I know of.
Other general books on the Reformed tradition I would recommend:
If you are looking for a topical treatment from a Reformed perspective I recommend:
Once you are ready to dive into heavier works consider:
Nice try, Wayne Grudem.
I kid, I kid. Seriously though, I've not read Wayne Grudem. Back in seminary, however, I took Theological Overview under J.I. Packer and the texts for his class were:
Millard Erickson's "robustly evangelical, gently Calvinistic", Christian Theology
& Louis Berkof's 'strongly Reformational', Systematic Theology
___
Those were the weightier academic requirements. Also on the reading list were two volumes for the general reader:
Bruce Milne's helpful survey of Christian theology, Know the Truth
& J.I. Packer's own commendable, Concise Theology
Excellent resources all.
There's all kinds of good stuff at monergism.com. Also I recommend Berkhof's Systematic Theology and Horton's Introducing Covenant Theology (also known as "God of Promise").
