Ive already got a translation of the way, i found it really interesting and would like to know more about the Taoist religion/philosophy (which is it by the way?), was particularly interested in learning about i Chin and the oracle, (although not sure if this is Taoist or not) it all sounds fascinating, any pointers on good books?

I believe it is a philosophy. To call it a religion goes against what Taoism is! Funny it works that way. Seriously, read The Tao of Pooh. It's short, to the point and really endearing. One of my most prized books that I own.

Try "the Tao of Pooh." Really.

Believe it or not, The Tao of Pooh is very good. I'm not a follower of the way, but a friend of mine who is recommended that to me, and I found it very, well, enlightening. (Afterwards I also read the Te of Piglet, and I think I learned something from it as well.)
