Much Ado About Nothing is very approachable, as is Romeo and Juliet and Twelth Night. After those the difficulty somewhat increases. I personally suggest that for the first couple attempts people watch the play or movie first, then after, in order to solidify the style and meaning. After you do that with one or two plays you should be able to dissect anything.
Naw, too much. I have the complete works in one book from college (english lit minor). Its huge and has tissue like paper, but its just one book.

1) Sonnets (easier to read than most of the other titles)
2) The Tempest (try to follow the comedy of it.)
3) A Midsummer's Night Dream (frequently enacted in parks, at colleges, etc. which means you can relate to the writing based on having seen it.)
4) I'd stop there.

It's my favorite of the Shakespeare plays that I've read.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard is also fantastic, but only if you're familiar with Hamlet.
We did The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and The Twelfth Night in School. I'd say Julius Caesar was the most fun.
