Good books?

I was wondering if there is any good literature regarding Celtic paganism, I need more info before I can really consider myself a practicing Pagan, but good info seems to be scarce on the sites I've come across. Many thanks!

I was wondering if there is any good literature regarding Celtic paganism, I need more info before I can really consider myself a practicing Pagan, but good info seems to be scarce on the sites I've come across. Many thanks!

This is a good book on Paganism in general:

Paganism
An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions
Joyce and River Higginbotham

This is a list from a group I am a part of, they put it forth as a recommended reading list for those interested in the Celtic Culture:

The Celtic Heroic Age: Literary Sources for Ancient Celtic Europe and Early Ireland and Wales
John T. Koch (Editor)
This book includes a large number of sources on the Celts, all included in a single place. Many of the translations are updated, and it includes many obscure texts.
Reading Level: Late High School to Early College
Celtic Heritage: Ancient Tradition in Ireland and Wales
Alwyn and Brinley Rees
The very best study of pattern and meaning in Celtic myth, with special reference to Vedic lore.
Reading Level: Late Undergraduate to post-Graduate
Pagan Celtic Britain
Anne Ross
An exhaustive survey of known archaeology and lore about Celtic remains in England, Scotland and Wales.
Reading Level: Late Undergraduate to post-Graduate
The Mabinogi, and Other Medieval Welsh Tales
Patrick K. Ford
The most academically accepted translation, it also includes the Battle of the Trees, a pronunciation guide, and an index of names.
Reading Level: Undergraduate
The Tain: Translated from the Irish Epic Tain Bo Cuailnge
Thomas Kinsella, Trans.
One of the main Irish Myths, the Ulster Cycle is key to understanding Irish mythology. This translation is considered standard among academics.
Reading Level: Middle School

Hopefully this helps out some.
