since you want "philosophy books" you might want to start with secondary literature
pic related is alright for an overview into the big areas of discussion

>> No.5143594

Start with Kant and Hume's treatise
Humes treatise first though.

Camus. Kafka. Sartre. Hyppolite.

why does Stoicism fit so well with the great luminous one?

Read the Pre-Socratics, Plato, and Aristotle before you go any further.

Don't just read Socrates. Check out Epicurus and Epictetus
