At the Mountains of Madness was the first H.P. Lovecraft I read. I struggled through the first 20 pages or so as I really didn't like his style of writing, but soon enough the real horror began, and I quickly appreciated how perfectly his style of writing and his use of words complimented his stories.

It remains my favourite Lovecraft, though The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a close second. It's a shame he didn't write more stories of the same length as these.
