What books do you recommend to learn about world religions?
Avalon Maiden asked:
I am interested in learning more about Paganism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism. Books about other religions are perfect too, but I want to read books that contain legit information. Also, books about the different denominations are good, but really, I’d like to read just any legit book on religion.

If you’re going to tell me to read the Bible, don’t bother, I’ve already read it!
