I think we should start with the history of philosophy, with ancient Greece. After all, many philosophers in their works supplement or refute the Greek classics and their concepts.
But, of course, you will get bored reading about these Greeks, so I advise you to dilute them with lectures (on YouTube, for example) about modern philosophers of interest to you.
To sum up, I can recommend Bertrand Russell's book “The History of Western Philosophy” and, as I wrote, various lectures on YouTube, for example, Post-Science or Anna Pavlova's channel.
I agree with the previous commentator: you should start with Bertrand Russell, since his books contain the necessary basis for further study of philosophy.
As other options, I can offer:
1) Paul Kleinman ” Philosophy. Short course”. This book contains the main trends and schools of philosophy. In addition, it contains a large number of interesting facts and observations of thinkers.
2) Gubin “Philosophy”. Here are the main concepts used in philosophy, the directions of modern philosophy and achievements in the knowledge of society. A huge plus is that all the material is explained “on the fingers”.
3) Zotov, Mironov, Razin “Philosophy”. This textbook will introduce you to the history of philosophical thought, as well as the main problems in the development of science in our time.
