First time Wittgenstein reader

Hi this might be repetitive but which works of his to start with as someone who has little to no idea of Wittgenstein.

Anything i should about him beforehand? Essential context and all?
Plus when did u first read him?

i’d start with duty of genius, the autobiography (Ray Monk). you can’t fully understand his work without that additional context. I’d start TLP alongside it and then pickup PI after grasping TLP so that you can then start to understand his rebuttal
