Chess books reading order

Hello, I've just purchased these books -

1) Pawn Structure Chess (Soltis)
2) Mastering Opening Strategy (Hellsten)
3) Mastering Chess Strategy (Hellsten)
4) Mastering Endgame Strategy (Hellsten)
5) Art of Attack in Chess (Vuković)

Do you have any recommendations as to which book should I read first, which second and so on? I know it might depend on my personal preferences, but in general? Some people start with endgame, but I was thinking maybe deepening my understanding of pawn structures first would be better?
Thanks!

Looks like a heavy list. My list is easier. I plan to get Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess just because it will be fast and fun. But maybe the easier problems will give away the harder ones, when starting hard might be best for me.

Thansk guys, though I see there's not even a resemblance of a consensus. :D

I've read Nunn's Understanding Chess Move by Move and Tal's autobiography but I feel like I need to read something with a specific theme. I lack a proper understanding of certain motives to let me appreciate the more general books.

You are assuming you should read one book first before moving to the next, and only when you've finished your second book, you should move to the next.

First of all, you probably shouldn't just read the books -- you should study them. Secondly, would you want to wait studying endgames before you have mastered pawn structures? Or wait studying pawn structures before you have mastered endgames?

You may considering going through them in parallel. Pick related items from the books, and bounce around them. Studying (whether chess, law, math, or something else) is very different from leisure reading, where you often finish one book before starting with the next (and most certainly, people generally read books linearly).
