The great thing about reading Thomas is that one can open the Summa or other work randomly and gain insight into whatever question is being addressed. That said, this will not provide much on Thomism as such, and without context the experience and understanding that comes therefrom may not be so rich. Nevertheless, Thomas is about a clear a thinker as there ever was.
The disputed questions that comprise this wonderful little collection are from a work he did on Boethius, but stand easily on their own. I wanted to read this book to see how the different areas of knowledge were--and could be even now--organized. This little gem not only explained that clearly but also offered a lot of additional study into what the mathematical, natural, and theological sciences are. In short, I really believe that these idea have given me even more clarity on what philosophy is and how it fits in with the traditional sciences. It also provides something of an alternative to other divisions such as the trivium and quadrivium while also validating those traditions.
A modest background in Aristotle and Thomas might help but those are not necessary.
