Oh boy...so much, it's probably going to be unbelievable, really.

1. Vol I/II Isis Unveiled - Blavatsky
2. Vol I/II The Secret Doctrine - Blavatsky
3. Initiation, Human and Solar - A.A.B/D.K
4. Letters on Occult Meditation - A.A.B/D.K
5. A Treatise on White Magic - A.A.B/D.K
6. The Way of Man - H. T. Laurency
7. Knowledge of Reality I - H.T. Laurency

All concurrently - nine books - almost a "finger in each pie", so to speak.

There might be some confusion with this course, Q. H.P.B. did not have consistent stated views. For example, her adament views on reincarnation stated in Isis, and proclaimed to her audiences in India in the early years, changed dramatically after influences, embodiments or overshadowing by newer Mahatmas. You will find the Secret Doctrine to reflect the more current view.

Isis is a great way to start in my opinion, though, followed by the SD.

You might come to understand that H.P.B. wanted one, above all, to "think." With that in mind, you may be able to better understand other differences, or divergences you find in the remaining works in your list. Ultimately, it will be your thoughtful understanding that matters so take the literature not as dogmatic, but illuminating reference to historical accounts of the Ancient Wisdom colored by the cultures of numerous Asiatic civilizations predominantly.
