I see that it's the second book of the five suttas so I'm going to invest in the Digha Nikaya just to sort of start from the beginning.

to add, the Digha Nikaya does not represent the beginning. much of it, probably most of it, was composed after buddha's death

buddha started here: Three Cardinal Discourses of the Buddha

John Ireland's translation of the Itivuttaka is also a very good starting point
