start with simple layouts... you want something you can do without looking at a chart. two or three cards. there is a book about two card layouts which I found helpful.
as you get interested, you can learn more about the aspects you resonate with. there are books on all sorts of specific topics.
also, some decks work for me and some do not. if you are having trouble connecting with a deck, try another. I've given away decks that I didn't find useful for reading or study.
good luck and have fun!
