I took Castaneda's experiences as reflecting his impressions of reality under the influence of both a powerful personality (Don Juan) and drugs not as a description of scientific reality itself. His books offered considerable philosophical truth as well an understanding of how others might experience reality. I consider them worth reading.

I'm considering picking one up. Which one would you recommend out of all of them?

Start with the first one: Don Juan, A Yaqui Way of Knowledge.
