That is a quite diverse list of books, what area of security are you
interested in, I'd start there first. Are you a developer? If not then
numbers 7 and 10 and probably 1 will be way over your head as they are
aimed at developers. 2 and 8 go well together and 8 has a chapter from
2 included in it so you get a sneak preview. 8 is an awesome book

If you like wifi then Josh Wright and Co did the great Hacking
Wireless Exposed 2 recently.

I'm reading Ninja Hacking at the moment and that is more about the
mindset of a hacker and a test rather than explaining how to do one.

I'd say you have to start with something you are interested in and can
understand, go in early with something either too hard or something
you aren't bothered about and you will be put off and not get the best
out of your time.
