Hi there, I'm a 1st Year Ancient History and Egyptology Student from UCL, hope I can help.

Really, it depends on how you define "texts". Are you thinking of administrative and legal texts, or more cultural-orientated ones like religious texts or literature? Personally I would recommend the latter, as they provide a much more interesting flavour then the former in my honest opinion, but ultimately it's up to you.

If you are looking for sources in the latter, I suggest purchasing books like Middle-Egyptian Stories by Aylward M. Blackman (and accompanying texts such as Egyptian Literature 1800 BC: Questions and Readings by Stephen Quirke). These volumes contain the actual texts, and translations and transliterations, of many beloved Egyptian literary works from the Middle to New Kingdoms (The Shipwrecked Sailor, the Tale of Wenamun, the Tale of Sinuhe etc.). The Egyptian Book of the Dead, which is actually published in Penguin Classics, also makes a good read.

If you're looking for administrative and legal texts, that's a little more difficult. To my knowledge, there aren't very many modern and freely available published volumes of them that exist, but if you want one concrete set of them I suggest looking up anything you can find on the Tomb Robbery Papyri. These are a set of legal documents dating to the 20th Dynasty (New Kingdom), basically the transcripts of the trials of the tomb robbers from the workers village of Deir el-Medina who robbed (or tried to rob) the Valley of the Kings. Deir el-Medina is a great case study for Egyptian communities in and of itself if you want to look into that.

Finally, I guess a 'cross-breed' of all of these types of texts can be found in The Boundary Stelae of Akhetaten / Amarna (Which can be found in a published volume, The Boundary Stelae of Akhetaten; the name of the authors escapes me atm), and these serve as an interesting insight to the time of Akhenaten's reign in the 18th Dynasty (New Kingdom), when he constructed his new capital city of Akhetaten (literally "Horizon of the Orb") and shunned the old religion in favour of his new monotheistic ideology with the worship of the Aten. The Boundary Stelae, in my opinion, not only give us valuable insight into the physical dimensions of the new capital but the 'cosmic' dimensions as well, expressing the might of the Aten and illustrating how the Royal Family are his representatives (in effect).

I'm sorry this is all a bit scattered, but I hope it helps.

Are you looking for scholarly literature on the history of Ancient Egypt, or compendiums of primary texts from that area?

For an overview of Egyptian History, I suggest Ian Shaw's The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt. If you have any more details on what you are looking for, I can try to help you find them.

And to supplement /u/Kylarnatia's post, I recommend James B. Pritchard, ed., Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament (3rd ed.; Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 1955), which has a bunch of the important texts of Egypt (as well as other ancient peoples, including the Mesopotamians, in case your interests ever widen) in translation.
