In general, R.O. Faulker's translations of the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts, and the Book of Going forth by Day are much preferable to Budge's ancient and inaccurate versions. Egyptology has come a loooong way in the past 100 years, and there's a lot of inaccurate, biased info in the old stuff that would distort the reader's understanding of just about every aspect of Ancient Egyptian religion. In general, the newer the translation, the more accurate it will be.
OP, other books I can personally recommend include:
The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt Paperback by Richard H. Wilkinson
Would maybe start with an overview on underworld texts
Amduat and Amduat explained
Pyramid Texts
Book of the Dead (very large pages with full color plates of the Ani papyrus + translations)
Coffin Texts
Book of Gates and Book of Gates explained
Some of these may be available for PDF download elsewhere, if you search by ISBN.
