to focus on a single topic at first. it's seductive to want to read everything because of the way people write those theory essential reading lists but only reading one seminal book on each topic is not a way to develop your understanding. by starting with various books that deal with a specific topic that interests you (for me, 19th century french psychiatry) you can get a better sense of the various approaches to a topic, the way historians contradict and respond to each other, the difference between an academic book, a news article, an anonymous anarchist library essay, and a communist propaganda leaflet on the same topic, and most importantly: you realize, as you accumulate knowledge, that published writings are often wrong and false! and realising the scope of this helps you be more confident in doubting and questioning any piece of writing in a critical way.
