 Welcome Requiem.  I really admire your open-mindedness in pursuing
 your friend's suggestion.  Two books that I would recommend just for
 general pagan background are _The Pagan Path_ by Stewart & Janet
 Farrar and Gavin Bone, and _Drawing Down the Moon_ by Margot Adler.
 These do not delve into the practices of any particular pagan path
 and give pretty good overviews of the different pagan paths.  The
 first one is more general and an easier read, but both come highly
 recommended.

 Again, welcome and feel free to ask any questions you may have.  When
 I first set out on the path I was told that the only dumb question
 is the unasked one.

 Blessings
 Keman
