Fairly analytic list :)

The Oxford Short Introduction series is fantastic. To build up continental knowledge I'd recommend the books on German Philosophy, Continental Philosophy, Foucault, Poststructuralism, Marxism.

Also maybe throw in the one on Postcolonialism, although now we're edging away from philosophy a bit.

I've always been more of an analytic mindset myself. My continental guilty pleasure is phenomenology but I have to admit I don't know much about it. If you could add a few links for others (and my self) to read up on that I think it would be appreciated.

I'm afraid I don't know a lot of free resources. A lot of the topics I mentioned have their own SEP articles which would be a decent start. But I'm not sure where to direct people from there.

You could list those articles as a start.
