I'd like to start learning nevi'im acharonim, I.e. y'shaya onwards, properly. However, I don't have a particularly large amount of time to dedicate to this and I am wary of becoming bogged down.

Does anyone have any advice for which navi to learn? Please consider importance and ease amongst other considerations in your answer.

I am also open to learning specific parts that are particularly important or relevant. (From what I remember there are significant parts that are complicated metaphoric rebukes and prophecies about other ancient middle eastern societies - I have to admit that I'm not too interested in those.)

UPDATE: Properly means that I will not just read the text itself and metzudos to give me a bit of explanation. I plan on trying to think about it myself as well as looking at some rishonim, most probably radak. Again, I am willing to receive advice as to what it will take to get a decent understanding of what is going on.
