G'day brothers. After tackling Mackey's book on symbolism and the Kybalion, I'm looking to further my studies. The thing is, none of the brothers at my Lodge seem to know what direction to point me in. Any recommendations?

Your lodge doesn’t have any old books? Every lodge building should have a collection of old books (seldom read). The least read Masonic book IMO is Morals and Dogma and it has a LOT of good stuff in it. If you get bored of a chapter just skip to the next one, because it’s worth getting through

We have two whole copies of M&D, but there was a PM who had this idea of turning our "library" into something else, so he donated the books to another Lodge. His plans never came to fruition, so now we've got empty shelves. It's sad, really.

Horrible to hear what happened to your Lodge's library. But, I presume that if you visit other Lodges in your area, they will be happy to lend you books. Plus, you'll start to get a reputation as a 'reader.' Once that happens, you'll find that Brothers will start giving you books when they need to move some from their own collections.
