For something more specific, Aristotle is pretty good for a start; i recomment to read Plato only where he reffers to Socrates; try also Camus- in his Rebel reviews many philosophical positions; Kant is also important IMO and could be included, if nothing else, to fill the gap between the ancients and Camus.
At some point you will have to read Nietszche if you like philosophy.
Kant is probably the most important imo, but I think any beginner going straight to Kant will probably just quit.
