Do have any beginner reading you'd recommend of Gramsci? I got the first volume of the Prison Notebooks, but it was a bit out of my league.

The prison notebooks are the bulk of his available work. I'd say read one of the "selections from Gramsci's prison notebooks" books.

This is a good starting point! There's also no shame in reading annotated versions, where more accessible authors elaborate on the ideas present in the text. I can't recommend any in English because I've only read Gramsci in Spanish and Italian, but I'm sure there must be good translations of him in English, maybe even by pete-eat's dad.

Can you recommend some of the Spanish ones?

Sorry, but I can't help you there... My philosophy professor just gave us photocopies of a book he knew was good, and I have no way of tracking those down.

Read my response to dannoffs' comment... I haven't read Gramsci in English, so I can't recommend any annotated versions, but starting with those maybe selected around a single topic (Gramsci tended to go all over the place in the notebooks a bit) could help.
