I started with "Wake Up, Sir!" and as near as I can tell, this is the place to start. "Wake Up, Sir!" is a genuinely hilarious book, but also one that is sometimes poignant and, after a while, a little scary. It concerns a writer whose career is floundering and takes place chiefly at a Yaddo-esque writer's retreat. Very sharply observed and as strange as real life. "The Extra Man" is a pleasure too--and even stranger.

I would disagree with the other commenter simply because in Wake Up, Sir! there are references to Ames' earlier novel The Extra Man. Nothing that would ruin the experience if one read Wake Up, Sir! first, just a little extra fun!
