Dhammapada and the Pali Canon. The Analects can also be quite insightful at times.

All the old shit: the Pali canon, dammapada (or whatever the fuck) the dao de djing, the Upanishads, the Vedas, and then Alan Watts for modern stuff.

I would recommend something like Buddhism as Philosophy by Mark Siderits. It helps unpack some of the various philosophies of Buddhism from the more religious stuff. It should provide an okay introduction to eastern philosophy.

No such thing. Philosophy is a strictly western phenomenon.
