Some (unsolicited, but what the heck!) suggestions:
*) For Ayn Rand, read the Fountainhead instead of (or before) Atlas Shrugged. The writing is better.
*) David Friedman has an excellent book, The Machinery of Freedom, that might qualify as a good "social justice" book from a libertarian perspective (that isn't the point of the book, but, well, you'll see if you read it).
Hayek can be tough-going, but I've learned a great deal from his work. Start with "The Road to Serfdom," which is his most accessible book, I think.
