I actually took my first philosophy class not too long ago. Read bits and pieces of Republic, On the Genealogy or Morality, and The Trial and Death of Socrates. Read some other texts. Have learned about the Euthyphro dilemma, the apology of Socrates, Plato's theories of justice and his perfect society, existential love, and the master and slave morality.

Any ideas for good texts to read from where I'm at?

Schopenhauer is eminently readable and understandable with an interesting thesis.

Kierkegaard has some great books like If Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing. Another good one is is Sickness Unto Death
