I was planning on reading one of these 1000 page tomes as a brief overview then read the source material of the parts that interest me.
Reading the entire western philosophy cannon from source material would be extraordinarily time consuming.

Yes it is. But so is anything else.

You short on time or something?

Perhaps if you are a little girl. It doesn't go beyond the surface of anything, so you might just listen to some teaching company lectures or similar instead if you aren't really interested in philosophy.

Get "The First Philosophers" published by Oxford, then read a bunch of Platonic dialogues
Proceed with Aristotle's Categories, On Interpretation, Physics, Metaphysics, Ethics
You'll probably get stuck on Aristotle's prose so get some commentaries and shit.
