You don't need to do all that. Just use Dired. Put this in your .emacs:
(require 'dired-x)
Then, in Dired:
1. Mark each of the files you want to visit (without displaying).
2. C-u F
You will see the file buffers in the buffer list (C-x C-b), where you can
choose them individually or in groups. Use `C-h m' to see the possibilities.
