I read only the first part, the "Handbook of the Militant Christian," and I was very impressed with what Erasmus had to say. He cautions against complacency when life is a constant battle against Satan; if we forget that, we feel less need to rely on God, and Satan is able to gain ground on us. I intend to read more of his writing once I get the book back (managed to leave it at school; yay me :P)

Erasmus is a very good person to read.

i've only read the dedication to thomas more so far, but three seemingly unrelated (ok, two were totally related) points spanning five years have brought me to this fourth point, which is digging "the praise of folly"

Another book I never got through. What I read of it was good though, I love the Renaissance lit.
