What is the best starting point for Aristotle, and what are his more important works? I tried previously to start with Nicomachean Ethics, but it was far too dry and I was unable to finish it. I'm going to attempt his works again, but want to start somewhere else. Is Metaphysics a good outset?

From what I hear, NE is supposed to be among the most works, if not THE most readable work. Maybe try Poetics (very short), but frankly if that doesn't do the trick you might be out of luck.

The best starting point for Aristotle is Plato desu

this, ethics is very readable, aristotle may not be for you

Also you probably fail to recognise that Aristotle did not wrote this stuff at all. Ethics are just notes of some students from aristotle'courses, so its nothing aesthethical in, artsy in it. Read kierkeegard for fancy style
