How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) by Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about stories/characters from TV, movies, games, etc. that you already like. Do you seek “good” storytelling or encyclopedic DC knowledge? Are you here to collect or read? How much time/resources are available?
Don’t try to read everything—there’s too much. Forget about continuity, universes, and timelines; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so first appearances/early origins may not be the best starting points. Creative teams change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told (e.g. I never cared for Aquaman until Geoff Johns’ run).
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. Focus on well-received, relatively self-contained, and complete stories. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary). Remember, there are so many other great characters and publishers to explore, and not all comics are about superheroes.

Alternatively, you can skip directly to the new Rebirth re-launch by reading the Rebirth event (2016) and any Rebirth #1. Check out the /r/DCcomics sidebar for more info.
Events/crossovers can be fun and/or tedious. They are most appreciated by readers already well-versed in relevant continuity. Generally, the best non-event comics integrate these seamlessly or avoid them entirely (notwithstanding editorial/executive mandates). Regardless, you may want to familiarize with major plot points.

This is everything that's worth reading. The Wally stuff is a lot better than both the Barry and Bart stuff.
The Flash by Mark Waid
The Flash by Morrison/Millar (This takes place in the middle of Waid's run)
The Flash by Geoff Johns
To gain a bit of context for why Wally is the Flash for these runs, Barry is dead. He died saving the Universe in the pages of Crisis on Infinite on Earths which you can pick up, but it's dense in terms of material. Mark Waid’s run is currently being reprinted. There are currently 2 total volumes with a third on the way. The first book is a bit slow but is important because it has Born to Run which is an origin story for Wally. Morrison/Millar’s run is a bit ridiculous in terms of feats of power and features the Black Flash. Johns run is a bit more grounded, and takes less of a focus on world threatening issues and more focuses on the backstories of villains and stuff like that. Mainly character driven stuff. These 3 runs are also responsible for modern Flash canon. They introduce the Speed Force and almost every evil speedster.
For Barry Allen
Flash Rebirth (2009) by Geoff Johns
Flash Dastardly Death of the Rogues by Geoff Johns
[Flashpoint by Geoff Johns] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1401233384/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480633753&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=flashpoint&dpPl=1&dpID=61e0-Dt31zL&ref=plSrch)
New 52 Flash volumes 1-4 by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccelato
The rest of the New 52 is really bad, do not get it. Flash Rebirth (2016) has been pretty fun, but a bit disappointing at the start, but it's gotten a lot better. But still, I heavily recommend getting the Wally West volumes above.
Bart Allen
Impulse by various authors is a great series from what I hear. Personally I haven’t read it but various well informed Flash redditors have said it’s great. Just don’t read Flash Fastest Man Alive. It’s not good.
A few miscellaneous stories include
The Brave and The Bold by Mark Waid a story about Barry Allen and Hal Jordan for 6 issues at different points in their life. I haven’t been able to find a physical copy.
This whole series is a team book that features Wally as the Flash
The current Titans by Dan Abnett heavily features Wally. Especially this first trade.
Green Lantern v3 issues 66-67 a short arc between Kyle Rayner Green Lantern and Wally West. It’s their first one on one team up and it’s a cool story that ignites their rivalry.
All-Flash #1 sets up Wally as the Flash after Bart’s tenure as the Flash (Do not read it) and is a cool, cool story that shows Wally at one of his lowest points.
The Wild Wests by Mark Waid (Flash vol 2 #231-237) is a story that isn’t close to as good as Waid’s initial run but it’s still good in my opinion. First story with Wally as a dad and it tries to establish a new status quo for the Flash. Then Waid leaves DC. Also, it has cool art.
Both Young Justice by Peter David and Teen Titans by Geoff Johns feature Bart in a main role
Flash by Mark Waid (upcoming) but I think it might be delayed
Flash by Grant Morrison and Mark Millar
Flash by Geoff Johns, Book 2, Book 3
As for team books, he shows up in New Teen Titans as Kid Flash and in JLA as Flash
