The Maya: Where the fuck do I start?
They seem like an alien culture, and considering I have a fondness for "imperial peak" of ancient cultures (Rome, Han Dynasty etc) I want to learn more.
What are some good titles to reccomend?
MesoAmerica general I suppose

Did you know it was because of their Mayan ancestors that those Los Angelean mexicans were able to pass their AP Calcoolus exams with 4s and 5s?

Go to bed, Lamarck.
This book has pretty much everything you need about the Maya. It's a bulky and expensive as fuck tome.

I don't know where the best place to start would be, but this website is filled with useful information. There are also sections on other American civilizations.

aztecs were more in mexico than mayans, but mayans were and still are in mexico
If you're interested in the visual culture of Mesoamerica in general, anything written by Mary Ellen Miller should be high on your list. Her intro textbook The Art of Mesoamerica is perhaps the best one on the subject; it's a really easy read and it covers the Maya well.
