I want to learn about Georgism. I was thinking I could read a mixture about modern books about georgism combined with some original books by Henry George.

Georgism is seriously different from property taxes. Property taxes tax the value of the developed land, while a land value tax as george proposed taxes JUST the value of the undeveloped land.
