Lately I've taken an interest in learning about sikhism.
What would be some good books to start off with reading?
I've read a lot on the net regarding the general philosphy and meaning of the religion, and I love what I've read so far! But I also dont really like sitting in front of a computer all day, so I'm looking for some good books to learn more about the religion and its meanings and histories etc.
Is there any books you would reccomend I read first? or should I just jump right in and read the Sri Guru Granth Sahib (is it correct to say The Sri Guru Granth Sahib? or is the the not needed?)
And as far as reading SGGS, what would be the best translation to read? It seems to me that the Khalsa Consensus Translation would be the easiest to understand and learn from for someone who only speaks/reads english. Is it possible to get this in a printed copy/book? I would rather not sit in front of the comptuer to read it.
