Yeah but still... there's something really nice and basic about getting to know the primary sources. You can find a lot of secondary literature / handbooks / online courses / ... but it just can't compare to the original (albeit in translation). If you would ever decide to start studying philosophy in-depth you'll be glad you're already familiar with some fundamental works.
