I just picked up Mountain of Silence.
The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality: Kyriacos C. Markides: 9780385500920: Amazon.com: Books
" An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to a monastery high in the Trodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality"
So far he seems to be more a home sick Cypriot than someone newly discovering Orthodoxy but has provided some interesting accounts in the first chapters of Elder Paisios and one of the monks who studied under him a Father Maximos who plays a big part in the book apparently.
Overall it is pretty good so far.
