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.

I like the Very Short Introduction series - they're short non-fiction books aimed more-or-less at educated adults who aren't so familiar with a topic. And I found their Philosphy book to be worth a read.

It spends some time introducing some common philosophical questions before covering a few classic texts.
