>Zadig
>Candide
>Treatise on Tolerance
>Philosophical Dictionary
>Letters concerning the English nation
Most of his other works are irrelevant.

>>8630432
Candide.
Or Optimism.

>>8630432
Well if you haven't read Candide obviously start with that. The main theme/satire is as overt as they come so you won't need to worry about understanding his philosophy/knowing anything foundational, and it's quite short (150 pages IIRC), and a really good book.

Candide. Pretty accessible and fun to read. People also talk about it a lot so you'll be able to join plenty of discussions.

Hmm both sound good. Which one should I go with?
