The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis. Great work to introduce students to the field of philosophy! Lewis is one of the most concise, intelligient, and truly humorous (in the wonderfully traditional British sense) authors of the 20th century.

Years ago I read Lewis' The Screwtape Letters, and recently bought it to read again - haven't got to it quite yet.

The Screwtape Letters are a classic work of Lewis', he said that that was probably the most difficult thing he ever wrote.

I recently read The Da Vinci Code. Then went and got the first book. The Illustrated Angels and Demons. I liked the pictures of the symbols in their natural state. Several James Patterson. Really enjoyed the Womens murder club series. Right now Tom Clancy Red Rabbit.

Currenlty re-reading "Crime and Punish" by Michel Foucault. Had been a while. First read it as part of my degree and stumble upon it a week ago. Damn good book.
