Do you really want to learn about Philosophy, or are you looking for books that help you in your own life?

I highly recommend Robert Pirsig's two books. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and "Lila: An Inquiry into Morals"
These are often cited by people as the books that got them interested in philosophy in the first place.

These are not academically respectable books, indeed they completely challenge the establishment. Though that may be changing.
