At the beginning

it doesnt matter

I read The Stranger a few days ago and loved it. Now I'm reading The Myth of Sisyphus, which is my first attempt at philosophy, and it's really tough to get my head around. Any advice? I'm beginning to think I should have started with the Greeks.

Definitely start with the Greeks and work your way through to present day. Some of you might think that's a sterile way to approach something ("Follow your heart! Read who interests you!") but you'll get lost frequently otherwise. Philosophers build atop their predecessors.
