Hmm, Aristotle has some very hard-reading bits. Especially without someone/thing there to put together the contexts, or to let you know you can skip over the truly boring bits to the next bit of meat when the bogging down gets heavy into obscure ancient disputes without missing a thing. Maybe try listening to http://www.historyofphilosophy.net/ http://www.historyofphilosophy.net/ . It is very good. Almost as good as, say, a giraffe. Also, for easier reading in general, people that wrote in pretty much the language you are reading are good for working up some philosophical inertia before plowing into tougher soil. I always recommend Hume. Rereading something like his epic philosophical burn on the design argument is just fun but then, that's me.
