Invitation to Philosophy

This is the most enjoyable introduction to philosophy I have read. Although I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy, I have been too busy building a law practice to read much philosophy for the last two decades. I have recently begun to read philosophy again, however, and have started by reading introductory books. I have found Hollis's "Invitation to Philosophy" to have all the ingredients of a classic of its kind: 1) it is concise; 2) it is clearly written; 3) it is a reliable exposition of the fundamental problems of philosophy; and 4) above all, it is entertaining. In fact, the book is so enjoyable that I was left thirsting for more, which is itself an indication that Hollis has succeeded. Congratulations to Hollis on a job well done.
