Is there a particular link in the readme that explains how to properly consider what you've read?

I'm interested in reading about Philosophy and will start off with the related picture. I would like to make the most of this learning however, and wondered if there are any tips. Thank you.

I sense hostility. You should maybe pick up an anger management book first.

Read. Then read again. Then again. Now contemplate. Now read several more times. Contemplate again. Understand yet? No? Read several more times. Contemplate again? Still don't get it? Ask for help or repeat the first two steps. Once you do understand, move on.

Honestly I don't understand how this could be hard, but everyones different. Good luck, OP.

Start off with Plato, who is the easiest to read thanks to his fun dialogues, and considered the father of all Western philosophy

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/plato/

Hackett edition of complete works

And maybe go chronologically with Aristotle next in logical order (Physics > Metaphysics > Nicomachean Ethics > Politics)

After that, I recommend either backtracking with ancient Indian Vedic philosophy and pre-Socratics, or moving forward towards Epicureanism, Neoplatonism, and so forth. Or skip ahead to medieval philosophy depending on your preference.

Depends on what you're looking for

I've got the Bloom translation of Plato's Republic, which is considered the most literal and faithful to the original Greek

Aside from that, Machiavelli's The Prince, some Descartes, Kant's Critique of Judgment, Hegel's Outlines of the Philosophy of Right, and a few more modern things.
