The Analects is pretty approachable, although there can be variation in translation. I’ve been reading portions of it through a Classical Chinese primer and you have to make quite a few decisions when you translate it into English. One of the weird things is that nouns can act as verbs, so something like “father father, son son” means “a father acting as a father, a son acting as a son.”

The big thing is to be very wary of any translations of Daoist thought or the I-Ching. I would only trust academic translations. Daoism tends to attract cranks who understand it as a hippie thing, when it is more complicated than that.
