Go outside and stare at the trees, hills, creeks, rivers, etc. Then form your own conclusions the meaning of life and why we're here.

Start with the Sumerians

Posted this in a different thread, but it still applies I think:

Just for sheer ease of readability:
Enchiridion by Epictetus
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Letter to Menoeceus and Vatican Sayings by Epicurus
Apology, Crito, and Phaedo by Plato
Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle
Confessions by St. Augustine
Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume
Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, and Job in the Bible.

In no particular order?

I'd say the order would work pretty well. The only thing I can think of is putting the Bible books earlier or at least before Augustine.

As long as you look up the context in an encyclopedia or even wikipedia, the timeline shouldn't be too wonky.

If you're concerned at all with understanding a one of the boards bigger memes, The Ego and Its Own by Max Stirner is recommended. Personally I recommend it on its own philosophical merits.

The Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are both excellent and very enjoyable to read works.

I'll add to this: The Gay Science and Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche.

The entire western philosophy is a footnote to Plato, so whom do you think you should start with? Also the bible whether you believe in it or not.

honestly, coming from someone who's read the greeks, the germans, the moderns and lots of here and there, the internet is your best resource in this day and age. I learn more faster browsing iep than I ever have reading books.
