I'd recommend listening to some of the Yale freshman philosophy lecture series on youtube and from there pursue some of the texts and writers you find interesting. Just being handed assorted texts will be frustrating and less productive beginning for you

Alternatively, you could look into Plato's dialogues. After reading one, look up analyses and lectures on whatever you read. It's a good start to philosophy, most of them are short, and Plato's dialogues are weirdly stimulating (for me, at least).

"Aquinas" by Ed Feser.
"The Republic," by Plato.
"The Consolation of Philosophy" by Boethius.
"Nicomachean Ethics" by Aristotle.
"The Confessions" by Augustine.

start with the greeks

The Holy Bible by God

If you have at least a basic comprehension, you can start with Discourse on the Method imo
It's always good to read the greeks, by I think good old Descarts teaches you the essential basics. Then you can move on to hume, etc
