+Okay, the best place to start with Platonism is with Plato himself. At minimum, the Meno and the Republic will give you a basic sense of his approach. Then go on to John Dillon's The Middle Platonists, and then to any decent book on Plotinus -- I'm fond of Rist's Plotinus: The Road to Reality, but there are a lot of good surveys of his thought. Follow that up with some dippings into The Enneads themselves. Next, Iamblichus' On the Mysteries, and finally, Proclus' The Elements of Theology.
