I started reading the Holmes short stories from a collected edition, and that hooked me - I don't think you could do better than saying 'start with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' which gives you the first three stories - Scandal in Bohemia, Red Headed League and A Case of Identity.
(Though I might suggest The Copper Beeches as a replacement for the latter.)
