i would start with David Allison's Reading the New Nietzsche, https://www.amazon.com/Reading-New-Nietzsche-David-Allison/dp/0847689808, which covers The Birth of Tragedy, The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and On the Genealogy of Morals.
if you want to start with a primary source, The Gay Science is the one ...it's his medial book and contains the eternal return, the death of god, preliminary zarathustra aphorisms, and the will to power (btw, WTP is the one book i would NOT start with...it's cobbled together posthumously from his notes).
RTNN is also a great read in its own right. A bit pricey, for sure, but the entirety of the preface, and the intro are avail for free on Apple Books. I would definitely read those...they give one a good sense of why he's so relatably memeable.
"Perhaps more than any other philosopher who readily comes to mind, Nietzsche writes exclusively for you. Not at you, but for you. For you, the reader. Only you. At least this is the feeling one often has when reading him." 0 reply
