Start with the presocratics, or just jump into Plato. If you start with Plato, start with Euthyphro, then, Apology, then Crito, then Meno then Phaedo, then Republic, then Symposium, then Phaedrus. If you want you can keep reading Plato or you can jump into Aristotle (Who's a bit dry, but still excellent).

Start where ever you want and with whatever interests you. No biologist starts biology reading Aristotle and fitness doesn't have to begin with jogging before you can do running. Interest first. Linearity is bullshit. If you find something that inspires you to go to the presocratics, you'll do it.

Definitely don't listen to anyone here, myself included. We're illiterate. If we weren't, we'd be reading philosophy instead of being on the internet.

Unless you are engaging in applied philosophy, that is determining or elaborating the principle assumptions and the means and ends by and to which they are applied, you are wasting your time splashing about in the pseud-pool.

Concerning yourself with the metaphysics of matter/action/morality/determinism/etc. is for those who lack the aesthetic sensibility for art and the intellectual capability for science.

Do yourself a favor, read Joyce, study trigonometry, familiarize your self with the historiography of science. You'll be far better off for it in the long run.

This. Find some topic that you're interested in. Read a generalist/introductory work, check for influences and read that work, then read the original work you're interested in. A lot of philosophy is in response to another's work so it's important to have some understanding of context.
