One book I recommend on philosophy, just to get your bearings, is Bertrand Russell’s “A History of Western Philosophy.” Bertrand Russell, as you surely know, is one of the great philosophers of his time and just a remarkably clear thinker and writer. Just a great example of how English should be written and just a great voice to have in your head as a result. Being a philosopher himself, he was quite opinionated about the very schools and traditions in philosophy. It’s a fun read, provided you care about the history of Western philosophy. – source
