Best place to start with Joseph Conrad: Heart of Darkness, The Secret Agent, or his other short novels?

I don’t really think there’s a “best” starting point. Secret Agent and Heart of Darkness feel pretty different, so I was glad I read a bunch of his other work first—Secret Agent was a nice change of pace and setting. But I guess Heart of Darkness works as a starting spot too, since it’s the one he’s most known for, even if it’s not like Secret Agent at all.
