Kierkegaard Help

I have never read any Kierkegaard and I want to know where to start off. Suggestions, please?

I'd start with "Either/Or" I think it's considered his most popular work.

Either/ Or is very good. The Parables of Kierkegaard is a nice condensation of his philosophy, including my own favorite quote of his: "Some thing true when whispered may become false when shouted"

i started fear and trembling and couldn't quite piece it together, i'll probably wait a while before i have another go at it. read bits of repetition and it seems interesting, very narrative. i've heard great things about either/or, but it looks humongous.

(shouldn't this be in the philosophy forum?)
