i have not read this, either, but i know of Otter Zell. he is a good writer; well-known and humerous, too. here's an example of one of his essays: the other people.
Synopsis:
One of the long-time voices of the American Neo-Pagan religious movement is Oberon (formerly Otter) Zell, the founder of the Church Of All Worlds and publisher of the influential Green Egg magazine. Eschaton Books' release "The Neo-Pagan Essence" is a collection of some of Zell's most informative and entertaining essays, assembled to provide an answer to the frequently-asked question: "Just what is all this Paganism stuff about, anyway?"
i have this one... i highly recommend it if you don't have a nice big backyard!!!
Magic in a Concrete World
This book was part of my personal searching early on when I needed practical, effective ways to intigrate neopaganism with a very hectic schedule, and several non-pagan family members. The idea presented in the book is to slowly modify your inner and outter space to reflect the "brave new world." It is simple in its instructions, but simplicity should not be read as "lacking in power." Keeping things simple gives you more time to really focus on the energy of your magic
