What are a few philosophy books for beginners?

Answer:
I would begin by reading Will and Ariel Durant's "The Story of Civilization" in 11 volumes. The advantage is that these books survey all of philosophy and connect philosophy to history of the world. Once you have read a good history of philosophy, you can better understand what original works you would like to read.
