Where do I start with Foucault? Madness and Civilization? The Birth of the Clinic?

I started with History of sexuality but that is because I wanted to learn about biopower. Discipline and punish is a nice read too. I would recommend the collection power/knowledge it has some good pieces straight from Foucault's mouth where he really explains how his mind works
