Thank you so much! The book you choose really depends on exactly what your goals are. If you want to read the "classic" account, it is hard to go wrong with Alan Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar (Third Edition). It trained several generations of Egyptologists. Most of it is still pretty accurate today, although there has been a lot of debate about the verbal system. Although large, it also strikes a nice balance between being comprehensive, but also organized well enough for self study. If you want to see a version of what became known as the "standard theory," James Hoch's Middle Egyptian (Second Edition) gives you a decent introduction to an understanding of the language that uses innovations developed by H. J. Polotsky. Currently, there is an on-going, wide-ranging debate about how to understand the evidence for reconstructing the verbal system. Jim Allen's Middle Egyptian (Third Edition) represents one, rather unique take on it, and Peter Beylage's Middle Egyptian offers another take, with some of its own idiosyncracies. Each scholar tends to have a slightly different understanding. If you want more of a linguistic overview, Antonio Loprieno's Ancient Egyptian and Jim Allen's The Ancient Egyptian Language are very good places to start. If you are at the very, very beginning, and you just want something to get you started, Mark Collier and Bill Manley, How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs offers a very accessible introduction to the basics of the language that will give you the ability to partially read inscriptions you often encounter in museum collections. Hope that helps!
