Much heavier than what you are asking but worthwhile nevertheless:
A New History of Western Philosophy by Anthony Kenny
The title says it all, it passes through most of the important philosophers of the western tradition. It is perfect to understand what (academic) philosophy is all about. Took me four months to finish but it was definitely worth it.
