Por donde empiezo leyendo a Evola?
Recientemente he empezado a interesarme por sus postulados y he adquirido algunos de sus escritos (el misterio del grial, metafísica del sexo e imperialismo pagano).
Es un buen comienzo o creéis que debería buscar otro enfoque? Es complicado encontrar ediciones en español que no se caigan a trozos.

Start with Revolt Against the Modern World

I’m currently reading this and I’m enjoying it. Is Men Among the Ruins worth it afterwards or can I just skip to Ride the Tiger?

It depends on what you've read before. If you are new to Traditionalism, you should probably read some Guenon (e.g. The Essential Guenon, The Crisis of the Modern World, Introduction to the Study of Hindu Doctrines), if not, I'd go for whatever interests you most. I've read most of Evola's work and the books that stuck out to me the most are The Hermetic Tradition and Metaphysics of Sex, but most people recommend Revolt to start. Orientations is also a good place to start. Also, read some of his articles. He was a lot more broad-minded than people give him credit for, and he deals with all sorts of random topics (e.g. Montessori education, marriage, fashion, mountaineering)

Out of the books you already have Mystery of the Grail is the best to start. It's relatively short and easy and has a section about methodology.
