You may well know about the book “Being Vegan” by Jo Stepaniak.
She talks a lot about being Vegan as a philosophy of life rather than just from a dietary point of view. As a novice I found it very interesting and thought it might be of interest to some of the English speakers
She also has a web page: http://www.vegsource.com/jo/index.htm where she gives a lot of very sensible information about being Vegan. Most of the questions she answers on the web page form the basis of this book.
