A baby's introduction to philosophy would be Bertrand Russell.
From that you would go back and start with the Greeks and start the normal way.
Schopenhaur isn't the final boss but he's really fun.
Hegel is the conclusion.

the best introduction is probably some sort of general book about history of philosophy - it can be a schoolbook or anything, really, just to give you some idea about what philosophy is, basic terminology and so on,introduce you to some basic ideas

and then "the Greeks", which basically means the main works of Plato and Aristotle in this context

Ich sah Dir nach in Deinen blauen Himmel,
Im blauen Himmel dort verschwand Dein Flug.
Ich blieb allein zurück in dem Gewimmel,
Zum Troste mir Dein Wort, zum Trost Dein Buch. –

Da such' ich mir die Öde zu beleben
Durch Deiner Worte geisterfüllten Klang:
Sie sind mir alle fremd, die mich umgeben,
Die Welt ist öde und das Leben lang.

Procreation is an immoral act. The human race are the only beings capable of realizing that life has no purpose, so it has a moral duty to oversee its voluntary extinction.

Just start with Descartes or get a norton anthology, I thinks it's two volumes. If you read a history of philosophy as your intro ill be mad at you.
