well to pick from forty years of Xmen, your best starting point would be this July's new issues of Xmen... just pick up "Xmen" or "Uncanny Xmen" because they are the brand new writers so everything will be new all around... and "Xmen" by Mike Carey is supposed to be new reader friendly, so that would be a potentially great place to start.
after that, definatly pick up "New Xmen - Planet X" then "Astonishing Xmen - Gifted"
after that you are very much up to date on current events.
If you want to start from the beginning, this should help:

Originally posted by IcicleDepends on couple of things....you want to start with the original team (marvel girl, cyclops, beast, iceman, angel) or the new team ( colossus,thunderbird, storm, nightcrawler,wolverine,banshee) The original team is back in the 60's and kind of corny, #1- i forget which..but. They stop at a certain issue then they go into re-prints. Issue 98 of Uncanny X-men is the start of the new team. After 98, they get into introducing alot of characters that we all know that are part of mainstream X-men. Like Juggernaut,Kitty Pryde, Rogue,Dark Phoenix,Arcade...on and on.
lol yes, but (and I know this is a stupied question) what is the bigging?
I mean there is X Factor, Astonishing X men, Exiles..ect 🙂
In 1986 Marvel put out Classic X-men #1,which are re-prints of Uncanny X-men #98 and on. Cover price on these were only a $1.00. Cheap way of collecting the storys but not paying the collecting cost of the originals.
Once you start reading these at the beggining you will see how X-factor, New Mutants and the other X-titles get spawned. I started with Uncanny X-men but i got lucky i was reading them when i was 14, so i was able to get back issue before the prices jumped sky high. Good Luck!
