Where should I start with Calvino? Should he be read in any particular order?

Italian here so I don't know about translation but his prose is pretty simple (even if it's great), I read The Baron In The Trees, The Nonexistent Knight and The Cloven Viscount when I was 12 yo.
Don't worry about the order, you can start even from his more avantgarde stuff without any problem. But do it, it's great.

I just finished On a Winter's Night this weekend...It was a nice introduction to Calvino I suppose...

Don't worry about order. Invisible cities and If on a Winter's are two of the best books ever written. Although we don't talk about him much, he's one of the few authors that lit has almost unanimously liked for the past 4 years that I've been here, and deserves that fame.
