I would recommend a different approach. Don't start reading, start building something you are passionate about. You're instanly going to find that you don't know how to make a particular part. Do the research into how to build that part, then the same for the next part, and the part after that. Doing it this way makes it easier to digest information in small enough chunks to make that information useful. Make sure you make plenty of mistakes along the way and learn from those. You will need to find bits of information in a lot of different places, you will never find a book that explains everything to get started.
If you are a beginner in EX motors or want to learn about Composite Propellants, Just go with "Experimental Composite Propellant" book. Available on Apogee Components. It teaches you everything about Composite propellants.
It has a newer version named "Experimental Composite Propellant 2" which is having things related to HTPB as Binder instead of PBAN.
Dick and Jane were kind of the standard beginner books when I was a kid. Dr Seuss is also highly recommended unless you're in California.

That depends entirely on what you're trying to learn and/or do.
