For an introduction to Political Philosophy, I found Introduction to Political Philosophy by Jonathan Wolff a nice read. It references some primary sources like Hobbes and Locke to introduce the basic problems of Political Philosophy.

If at some point you get into reading primary sources, check out Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke. Edmund Burke is the father of Conservatism and an important figure in political philosophy.

/u/setofelements beating me to it twice! Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France would be a must read from a historical standpoint and for something different I would add Kirk's The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot.

For Conservatism at its best, you'll want to check out The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk. Another book you may want to check out is Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke. Edmund Burke was the founder of modern conservatism, and Russell Kirk helped to revive conservatism in the United States.
