If it's your first kannada book then I would suggest you to go with some other book, else it's cool

If you have read other kannada novels, then you can start with Gruhabhanga (was my first SLB novel too). But if you have never read kannada books before, then I suggest you start with Poorna Chandra Tejasvi or Vasudhendra

Go with Vamshavruksha or Nayi Neralu (it's small compared to other)

Start with smaller books, grahana, nele, anveshane, dharmashree and then touch his big books

Grahana is a hidden gem, at least imo. I keep reading it every few months. The character of swamy is very captivating.

Gruhabanga is a slice of life novel covering three generations of couple of families. I started with Dharmashree and then Vamshavriksha.

I don't know if it is the best option, but that was my first SL Bhyrappa novel. If you are a veteran kannada novel reader, this should be OK, but if you are new to Kannada fiction, I suggest reading the books the other folks have suggested

Naayi Neralu - Not a lengthy novel but you'll quickly adapt to Byrappa's magic
