Just read Ethics, then reread it with a Companion book, then read his Treatise on the Emendation of the Intellect and the letters. Hackett has a good edition.

Aristotle's categories
Anselm
Descares
And then you can read Spinoza nicely - his ethics is his magnum opus.

These are not that hard to read btw - when reading descartes pay attention to his notion of res extensa and res corgitans. The problem in his ontology is that these two substances are per definition unable to interact: Spinoza solves this issue with making them attributes of a third substance.
