I highly recommend starting with Darwin's On the Origin of Species. His style varies and on occasion I found myself slogging through an argument; however, it's highly readable overall.
I would definitely recommend reading Origin because I have enjoyed it a lot myself, but I still would not recommend it as the first contact with Evolution. Darwin in hindsight had a very diffuse idea and misconceptions about inheritance that are needlessly confusing, and I therefore think one should first get a rough idea about the modern perspective before reading him.
