    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 and my classes have just finished Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis and we are now onto Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and Plato's Euthyphro and Phaedo.

    1776 is a good read.
