I've alwayys reccomended people to read Nigel Warburtons 'Philosophy: the Basics'. I've never seen the Ontological Argument so simply and accurately described. Mary Warnock's 'An intelligent Persons Guide to Ethics' looks great when read on public transport. For oriental stuff Hagakure is OK, but I really reccomend the works of Dave Lowry. Be picky with Plato: Republic is really dry, but the dialogues dealing with his trial and execution are much easier to read (Crito, Apology etc).
