How's that novel/short story coming along /lit/?

Where do I start with Yeats?

I started reading two years ago. As a wagecuck with no life, I can do like 75 pages a day. Reading has become a hobby of mine, and I think now would be a good time to delve into philosophy.

I know I'm supposed to >start with the Greeks, but my question doesn't concern where to begin, but how to do so. I read World as Will and Representation and related to most of it on an intellectual and emotional level, but I found Witty's tractatus and Critique of Pure Reason much harder to get through, so I've shelved them for the time being.

Would you recommend studying philosophy via secondary literature? Or how do I go about actually understanding the canonical works of Western philosophy?

Stirner is unique amongst philosophers in that you can get 90% of his philosophical deliberations just from memes alone and 99% if you skim the Wikipedia article too. His political views would require some actual reading, but are not particularly exciting or memeworthy.
