I'm not sure if it fits the term "anarchism" but I think you'll enjoy it.

[AnarchistSte]

The Communist manifesto by Karl Marx

and also read some George Orwell.

[Sean2046]

molyneux's 'everyday anarchy' and 'practical anarchy'.

[brainpolice2]

I thought that "Anarchism" by George Woodcock was a good overview of classical anarchism.

[Pananarchist]

In no particular order:

The Anarchist Collectives -- Sam Dolgoff

Homage to Catalonia -- George Orwell

The Rebel -- Albert Camus

Anarchism and Other Essays -- Emma Goldman

The Kingdom of God is Within You -- Leo Tolstoy

You can find a torrent for Benjamin Tucker's "Liberty Magazine" (every, or nearly every issue in PDF format). Not sure you'd want to go through the trouble of printing them all out though.

Another online freebie PDF is David Graeber's "Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology".

[Pananarchist]

You can find a lot of pamphlets, books, and especially essays online. I've found that printing them out and putting them in binders isn't that much trouble and is pretty cheap. If you use hard-cover binders, they should last a while too. Just my $0.02.
