Where the actual fuck do I even start with this guy?
What is the recommended and companion reading for him?
in order of relevance id say:
(1) summa contra gentiles: https://mega.nz/#F!6sgETKCa!vGFF5iTfCR6lH3ZLXaQorQ
(2) de magistro (on teaching): http://hosted.desales.edu/w4/philtheo/loughlin/ATP/De_Magistro/De_Magistro_11_1.html
(3) summa theologiae (main catholic tenets/virtues): http://www.newadvent.org/summa/
(4) de rationibus fidei (short defense against islamic objections): http://www.stfrancismagazine.info/ja/images/stories/7_SFM%20August%202010.pdf
actually desu if youre not too into the whole expounding on catholic virtues thing (summa theologiae which is kind of long and drags a bit), esse et essentia is good replacement/primer on the important metaphysics: http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/aquinas-esse.asp
Give Aquinas by Feser and History of Philosophy by Fredrick Copleston a go.

Would the Penguin Thomas Aquinas: Selected Writings be good?
>>9015452
He's a system builder, you need a large edition

You wouldn't happen to have a link to a comprehensive collection of his entire works would you?
>>9015646
this. I want an Amazon link or something to the definitive Aquinas that I should buy.
>>9015646
I doubt there is such a thing. This is what the Summa Theologica alone looks like

The epub of it has around 3k pages, found it on Gutenberg. Only found On Eternity of the World and Against Averroists in reader format. Otherwise he's too cumbersome to carry around and I do almost all of my reading away from home.
Dr. Peter Kreeft - The Philosophy of Thomas Aquinas (The Modern Scholar)

I wouldn't recommend this at all. It's trying to simplify Aquinas to the point where you won't learn anything.

Here's a large archive of Neo-Scholastic works.

And Edward Feser has a series of posts in his blog titled "Scholastic's bookshelf" with a long list of works.
