Lately I have found an interest in philosophy. I would love to dig deeper into it when I get the time.

I just started reading Seneca's Letters from a stoic and plan to read Tao te Ching next, as I always wanted to implement thoughts from Stoicism and Taoism in my life.

I'm aware that, randomly reading different philosophical works won't give me much in-depth knowledge.

I want to know what's a good way to go about it and the resources I could use.

Agreed, it was my gateway to philosophy. It's gives you a good idea of who the most famous philosophers were, and their greatest contributions. It's very superficial, because you can only say so much in a 20 minutes format, but it's a great start to find who you want to get into.
