I would highly recommend Stanford Encyclopedia on philosophy (http://plato.stanford.edu/ http://plato.stanford.edu/). Reading original texts of philosophy are hard and require patience. At the same time, it also requires an understanding of previous era philosophers, since most philosophy is built on what was said earlier. Philosophy for the most part, evolves as ideas are built upon gradually by one philosopher after the next, so reading something from the middle and subscribing to it is pretty much baseless and akin to believing in some sort of cult ideology.
The more important part is to understand different arguments, and see which ones really stick out to you; the framework that you choose: metaphysical, analytical, phenomenological etc. should be something that truly inspires your way of thinking.
