I enjoy them both -- you know Aquinas quotes quite extensively from St. Augustine. I had to read Augustine's De Trinitatis (On the Holy Trinity), for a class I took a few years ago (on the Trinity, of all things!). I certainly found Austine easier to read than Aquinas. But one really has to appreciate Aquinas' logic, as well as his ability to present fairly the arguments of his opponants (sometimes perhaps better than they could present them themselves!).

Wow, my hat (or skullcap, in my case) goes off to you, Matt! On top of all your own work with the museum and kiltmaking, to take on the challenge of defending the faith and entering the ranks of the clergy in service of it is very inspiring. 
Now, could you just tell some of your teachers that you have a divine duty to perform, more urgent than studying Aquinas (or Augustine!), and up the weekly output on your kilts, so that I can get mine??
