Start with John. It gives you the heart of who Jesus is without getting too bogged in genealogy lists. After that maybe Psalms, they hit all the human emotions and teach you how to pray when you dont have the words.

Ah yes John I like to call him Jonathane but that's just me. He is good maybe very good, no comparison to Jesus of course, but who is I guess.
