Have not read any Spengler but want to start Decline of the West. Is there any of his other works I should read first? Any key works I should read by other writers I should read first?

Just read.

Did you read the Greeks?
You can't know what's declining if you don't understand it itself.

No. It’s a long and difficult book so just jump in.

I'm on page 196 of the first volume, I'm interested in history but I still had to look up a lot of things because Spengler uses a lot of examples from mathemathics and art.
Just start reading it and experiencing it
