Twilight of the Idols is the perfect book to start.

'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' is probably the one to start with

No, that's far too abstract. Never start with that book.

Nietzsche, as a philologist and professor, began with studying the ancient Greeks, therefore you should proceed with Early Greek Philosophy.

Notes From The Underground is fairly short, so perhaps start there.

You have confused Dostoevsky with Nietzsche.
