Where to start with lord bryon?
Should I just jump into Don Juan or first read one of his earlier works

>not saving the best for last
you can jump in if you like, at least read Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and some of his shorter stuff though

Jesus Christ just listen to this anon. Don Juan is pretty much his last incomplete work and magnum opus that's quite a bit slower than his other poems. They're all fairly easy to read as far as poets go, so just literally start anywhere but Don Juan

Grab any anthology of his poems and read whatever suits you. You can start chronologically or with his longer works, but don't read Don Juan just yet because it may be overwhelming.

I was referring to the image, not to you. You didn't even end a sentence with a preposition (although you did call him Lord Bryon).
