I’d say just jump in with one of the big ones: The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, or The Brothers Karamazov. His other earlier works are more accessible, but these three are why he’s known as one of the greats.

Notes from underground. It’s short and good. But if not that, go with crime and punishment. Make sure to save the brothers Karamazov last.

I just started Crime and Punishment and I’m surprised at how accessible it is compared to many rambling modern novels.
