Plotinus: An Introduction to the Enneads von Dominic J. O'Meara
This is a very fine small book. It drills down into several knotty spots in the Enneads, explicating Plotinus's sometimes far-from-crystalline arguments. Nevertheless, I think the best thing this book has done for *me* is suggest most strongly that I really don't want to go further into Plotinus without a generous grounding in Plato and Aristotle. Of course someone else might want to buck such a feeling, and for some it might even be advantageous to go that way -- but for me, no.
