Yes but Hegel is pure continental and thus cannot be expected to make any sense whatsoever.


I'm glad you said that. Each and every philosophy thread should have a little continental bashing. Especially if Nietzsche is mentioned.

For one book to start, I would recommend Bertrand Russel's "A History of Western Philosophy" It will introduce you to the major philosophers from Ancient Greece to the middle of the twentieth century, and their seminal ideas. This will allow you to get a feel for the evolution of philosophy, as well as beginning to develop a feeling where your own philosophy will fit in the spectrum.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

continental philosophy can be confusing but it's the most interesting to read

Am I supposed to read on books that reinforce my beliefs or should I read on the classics, and if so what classics do you recommend?


The right mindset for approaching philosophy is with the expectation that your beliefs will be challenged. The bread and butter of philosophy is critical thinking, and a good critical thinker is someone whom, among other things, has the capacity to change their deeply held beliefs--beliefs of which they really, really, want to be the case.

As a philosophy major I suggest that before anything else you start by picking up some good critical thinking books that deal with argument structure, fallacies, logic, possibly even ones covering some some basic logical notation.
