I like Ott's "Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma" (which, interestingly enough, I got from a Protestant.. lol), and I also use Bishop Wuerl's "The teaching of Christ" (commentary on the Catechism), in addition to the plain ol' Catechism of the Catholic Church. (and I'm sure I'll love the Compendium--whenever Amazon.com gives in and sends it to me!)
