Economics In One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt. Just ignore the token minarchist comments in support of the state.
The Production of Security, by Gustave De Molinari. It's one of the earliest arguments in favor of decentralizing and privatizing basic services provided by the state.
Profit and Loss, by Ludwig von Mises. Short paper that does a good job explaining what financial profits and losses represent to entreprenuers.
Really, most of the works available for free through the Mises Institute website can be good reading.

The combination of The Law by Bastiat, Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt, and Anatomy of the State by Rothbard convinced me to be an ancap back in highschool. I'd recommend the whole book of Rothbard's essays though: Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature and Other Essays.
Almost anything by Rothbard is great ancap stuff, really, though I especially recommend "What Has the Government Done To Our Money," for as a very readable essay about monetary policy.
You can find all of this stuff on Mises.org's literature collection.
