Can I also say that Catholic Answers ship things very quickly. Granted, they may not get to your house as quickly as an Amazon Prime account would permit.

… but they also package their books very well, and not merely in envelopes that are about seventeen sizes too big for your book. 😛 Oh, the many books I’ve ordered that have arrived banged and bruised because of silly Amazon. 😦

In fact they do!

I just ordered a subscription to their magazine and the first issue has already arrived. I am impressed!
 
I’d like to second (third?) the recommendation for Introduction to the Devout Life. I wish I would have read it years ago, and it’s just as easy to read and accessible as if it was written today.

If you’re just getting started, I wouldn’t dive right into Confessions. There are several St. Augustine readers out there that pull key passages from his works.

The Beginning Apologetics series is good, but apologetics can cause you to have a somewhat combative view of faith if it’s a large part of your diet.
