Any Pure Land Buddhists on? I'm also trying to learn Esoteric Buddhism through Garchen Rinpoche.

It would be more beneficial to read texts covering the basics of the teachings and then begin to read the Canon. For Theravada the goto is What the Buddha Taught by Ven. Walpole Rahula. For Mahayana, there are several, but Thich Nhat Hahns Heart of the Buddhas Teaching. For Tibetan Mahayana, it would be good to recommend Words of my Perfect Teacher by Patrul Rinpoche. From there you can branch out into the general areas of study you like. I myself only discovered my path of Chan/Pure Land after several years of searching, so don't feel discouraged if you don't know what you want immediately.
