My first ever philosophy book was Russell's essay "Why I Am Not A Christian"
At University I read Plato; 'Crito' and 'The Republic'.
Also used John Hospers "Introduction to Philosophical Analysis" a lot.
Only a few months ago I found Bertrand Russell's 'History Of Western Philosophy' in a second hand bookshop for 50 cents. Great stuff;such a lucid thinker.
All of those books should be available at any decent library. The Plato free on line in pdf form.
