www.akpress.org (http://www.akpress.org) is your best bet for anarchist books, but it can drain the bank if you want some of the good stuff (I'm saving up for the book Dynamite!). This site just got set up: www.theanarchistlibrary.org (http://www.theanarchistlibrary.org) or you can try the Spunk Library: www.spunk.org (http://www.spunk.org) or the Anarchy Archives: http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/
Marxists.org is a good place for Marxist theory.

'Value, Price and Profit', 'Wage Labour and Capital', and 'Capital' (all three volumes in order) by Marx. Well, of course. Note that Marx's views in VPP and WLC aren't exactly the same as those in 'Capital', but those provide a good introduction, and are close enough. You probably won't understand the first three chapters of volume 1 of 'Capital' on your initial read (I didn't), so you can just skip them if you're struggling with them, read the rest of the book, and then go back and reread those chapters, because they're still important.
'Reclaiming Marx's Capital' by Kliman. Kliman has some essays up on his site that go over the same territory, but I prefer reading the book.
'The reproduction of everyday life' by Perlman. Here (http://libcom.org/library/reproduction-everyday-life-fredy-perlman).
'Karl Marx' by Karl Korsch. Here (http://www.marxists.org/archive/korsch/1938/karl-marx/index.htm).
'Marx's Theory of Crisis' by Simon Clarke. You can download that here (http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~syrbe/mst/mst.htm).
'Fifteen Questions about socialism', and 'Socialist Reconstruction of Society' by Daniel De Leon. Found here (http://slp.org/litera2.htm#anchor437650) or here (http://www.marxists.org/archive/deleon/index.htm). Note that 'Uncle Sam's Balance Sheet' is only found on the SLP site version, though I don't really see the section on the first clause as of much interest, since it was more directed to non-socialists.
'The Marxian Concept of Capital and the Soviet Experience' by Paresh Chattopadhyay.
'The Violence of Abstraction' by Derek Sayer.
Out of those, the books are Korsch's book, 'Capital', 'Marx' Theory of Crisis', 'The Marxian Concept of Capital and the Soviet Experience', 'The Violence of Abstraction' and 'Reclaiming Marx's Capital'.
