I don't know much about philosophy

Where do I start? What do I read? I'm particularly interested in the philosophers from the Enlightenment. Is there a good book that gathers the the works of the most important philosophers but isn't too shallow?

cheers! I have a month off university so I thought I should take the time to catch up on some other stuff I'm interested in.

At first I was miffed at the price, but ..., March 14, 2005
Reviewer: Richard C. McCord "a hopeful soul" (Cedar Rapids, IA) - See all my reviews

I was excited about this collection, but I thought it was 37 dollars and 75 cents, so I was a bit disconcerted to find a $3,775 dollar charge to my Visa. However, once I started reading the collection, I realized it was worth every penny of the cost -- for all you get, this is an absolute steal, really! Now I'm sending the collection to friends and family as gifts. Take out a loan, beg, borrow or steal: Do whatever you need to do to get the money to order this series -- you won't be disappointed.
