I hated Pride & Prejudice, and even produced some heat on this very board by writing bad things about it.

But then I read Northanger Abbey and found it quite delightful, specially the second part, after the heroine goes to spent some time at the Abbey.

Middlemarch has the better canonical street cred, so if that influences your decisions at all (I must admit it does mine) I would start with middlemarch

Start with Wuthering Heights, which is a very short read, and then get ready for Middlemarch. P&P is no prority.

Jane Eyre is the better Bronte. Then read The Tenant of Windfell Hall after it. In my headcannon I pretend that is the sequel; the marriage that followed the honeymoon.

Wuthering Hieghts, Emily seems like girlfriend material

Wuthering Heights should be read first simply because it's shorter.
After the Bronte appetizer jump into a work by George Eliot aka Mary Ann Evans.
