Personally, I think that the most readable, entertaining and comprehensive introduction to Western philosophy is 'A History of Western Philosophy' by Betrand Russell, probably the greatest philosopher of the twentieth century himself.

Bryan Magee is not bad though.

It also depends on what you take philosophy to be. Are you interested in matters of logic and the like? Or are you more interested in 'Why are we here?' kind of philosophy.
