quote:Reinfeld chess books are basically of two types: primers or quizzes.
Is there a certain preferred order in which to consume his material?
You should probably be beyond the primers soon, if not already. But his quiz books are useful no matter your playing level.
From FR's Wiki page:
101 Chess Problems for Beginners (Wilshire, Hollywood, 1960) (ISBN 0-87980-017-8)
1001 Brilliant Chess Sacrifices and Combinations (Sterling, New York, 1955)
1001 Brilliant Ways to Checkmate (Wilshire Books, Hollywood, 1955) (ISBN 0-87980-110-7)
1001 Chess Sacrifices and Combinations (Barnes & Noble, New York, 1959) (ISBN 0-87980-111-5)
1001 Ways to Checkmate (Sterling, New York, 1955)
That's just a few (Reinfeld wrote over 100 books on chess)

High school Chess clubs/teams are common in the Houston area. Offer varsity letters. My college in Houston offered a chess club and varsity letters.

I nerdily got really excited when I captured an opponent’s pawn en passant the other day and realized what a loser I was for getting excited about that

No, but we had a chest club. 
Two moves and checkmate.

No. And if they did no one would join from fear of getting beat up.

There’s maybe four people in Mississippi that know how to play chess.

Yes, I was on it.
Had to be in 2 clubs to get into the National Honor Society and the chess club was the least time consuming.
