(1726) I had read excerpts in high school and college but never the whole thing. There's more necromancy than I expected, and a lot more scatological humor. I also laughed more than you'd expect for a political satire 300 years old. I much appreciated the footnotes in the Norton Critical Edition, which fill in some of the context and identify some of Swift's targets.
