The Republic is going to come off as very odd if it's the first work of philosophy you're reading. The dialogue style alone as well as Socrates' character can seem bizarre to our contemporary sensibilities. I think it is worth reading, as anon >>13525095 suggests, the "trial and death of Socrates" series of dialogues to better understand the Socratic method and the character of Socrates himself. That said, Meditations is fine to jump straight into. The stoic writers are a great starting point to getting into philosophy.

The Greeks of course
>Plato - Gorgias, Phaedrus
>Aristotle - Rhetoric
>The Progymnasmata
Then continue with the Romans:
>The Rhetorica Ad Herennium
>Cicero - De Oratore
>Quintilian - Institutio Oratoria
Then maybe read some speeches by Cicero, Isocrates, Demosthenes and such
