Triumph of The Moon is a very interesting book. Not at all 'dry' in the sense you'd expect an academic study to be. Although Hutton is a self-admittted historian, this reads more like a social study. It's got a lot of humour (read the footnotes!) and even more "oh, so that's where that came from!" moments. An extremely worthwhile read, in my opinion. He's a rather good public speaker too, from what I remember. His talk on Lord of the Rings and Paganism (circa 2003) is entertaining, even if the validity of his points is stretched a bit!
