The obvious choice is correct here: start with Infinite Jest.
Not only do I disagree with the previous comment that IJ is one of the most overrated books of all time, but I would rank it as one of the top ten books of the 20th century. Really, I'm not just saying that to undo the previous comment (or to prove his or her point).

I don't think there will be any dispute here: start with Independent People.
