Interesting... Do you have any recommendations or titles of recommended CDs? The MIT lectures are also intriguing, and I'd certainly be interested in checking them out as well.

As for the books.. They arrived a few days ago. I just started Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy and am enjoying it. I'm only 20-30 pages into it, and it is not quick reading, but it's very rewarding and requires that the reader focus on the material at hand. I really look forward to the time I am able to put aside to read the book, as I find it very enlightening.
