I want to get into philosophy. Recommend me some basic and understandable books. I'm looking for collection of philosophical essays and articles. But others will do too.

Think and Being Good by Simon Blackburn

Think covers common topics an intro to philosophy class would cover.

Being Good is the same, but for an intro ethics class.

It's written in an accessible way, not like a textbook. Both books are very short and digestible.
