There are any number of books for beginners on philosophy. However, I'd suggest before you buy anything you just surf the web for stuff. There's a tremendous amount of free material available that isn't all written for professional philosophers. I'd also suggest that Asian philosophy tends to be particularly difficult for westerners to understand.

If you are interested in Asian philosophy, Allan Watts is a good place to start. For western philosophy I'd start with the ancient Greeks.
