Re: Book recommendations
I love 'Dancing with Shiva' and 'Loving Ganesha' which can be viewed fully online at himalayan academy.
Dancing with Shiva:

Loving Ganesha:

I also recommend this easy-to-understand Upanishads book:
http://www.amazon.com/Upanishads-Bre...3876691&sr=8-1
Its great for first-time reading and my favorite pocket-book.
This is my favorite translation of the Bhagavad Gita, with great commentary:
http://www.amazon.com/Bhagavad-Gita-...3876809&sr=1-3
That, I think, is a good start
Have fun reading! I couldn't put the gita down once I got to like the tenth page, it was so good!
Let us worship Him, the pure-formed One, the cloud which, emitting a rain of unthinkable joy, satiates the hearts and eyes of its followers, as if millions of rain clouds had poured down, the stay of the Great Silence, called by many names, described by many religions, the embodiment of ineffable degrees of spiritual happiness.
