It may seem difficult for some readers, as Avengers being the flagship title, is constantly the focus of many events in the Marvel Universe. But most of the titles are fairly well contained and explained for new readers.
Avengers - Origin - Updates the formation of the Avengers to the present era.
Avengers Forever - Kurt Busiek's effort to tie together the entire Avengers' history. May be daunting for some but is a rewarding experience.
Avengers Disassembled - Great jumping on point. Also the start of Bendis' decade long run with the Avengers in various series.
New Avengers - Starts right after the previous event "Disassembled".
These are the essential reads, but Hickman's run on the below are a great starting point as well.
Avengers World
Avengers
New Avengers
Which culminates in,
Avengers - Time Runs Out
Secret Wars
