I love almost all his work tbh - actually I've been translating a compilation of some of his writings from spanish to portuguese and I also contributed to his page on portuguese wikipedia :)

You can dive in from wherever, and you will be able to know his cohese and wonderful universe of thought - it really doesn't matter, because it's a single entity, so you can start from his thoughts about family, work, slavery, astronomy, architecture, higiene, urbanism, politics, religion, sex, tolerance, women, commerce, law, philosophy, love, etc

I should warn you to beware of the translation because there are bad ones - he's a guy coming up with words and concepts and always playing with language and meaning, so you gotta be able to read between lines. I wish you a good reading, if you can find them because they seem to be kinda rare, and mind = blown! If you'd like to exchange some ideas about it later, feel free to get in touch!
