I'm also very interested in when you tell me which authors are easier than other authors; it's very hard for me to tell, because there are so many confounding variables, like my rapidly improving German, and the extent to which I already know the material. (Not having to parse the syntax and untangle the pronouns because I already know who did what to whom is huge.)
I'm hoping that reading Oster makes volume 2 of Wilhelmine's memoirs easier, which is why I decided to do it first. My entire approach to German is trying to make future reading easier, which is why the ordering of reading material is important, and why I'm starting with things you're interested in co-reading rather than the things that are Katte related highest on my own list. :)
Speaking of which, are you interested in doing MT together, after Lehndorff? If so, I should probably order it now, to give it time to arrive (since the Kindle version isn't available in the US, grrr) and me to format ONE THOUSAND pages. Looks like the cheapest copy (which I can cover) would be coming from the UK.
