So my uncle recommended I read ralph waldo emerson, but I don't know which of his works to read because my uncle didn't really specify. Which works of his are most important?
hmmm...
Just read his Essays. On Nature, and whatever else of his writings look interesting (Representative Men, The Conduct of Life, etc). They're all pretty digestible.
If you are (really) mystically inclined check out Versluis' book on Emerson's On Nature.

It's ironic because you should read self reliance (and other essays)

Savage. Maybe his uncle has your sense of humor.
