Which volume of TAOCP should I start with?


I have decided to go through "The Art Of Computer Programming" series by Sir Donald Knuth.

Based on your experience, please suggest which volume would be a good one to start with, as in an easier one (relative to others) and also, please suggest your preferred order for reading subsequent volumes.

I am in no rush to learn it all, so any type of volume should be OK with me to start.
