assuming it works properly, that should take you to the 'old' boards and the discussion thread for resources for converts - lots of book recommendations and various links.

As for 'accounts of conversion', my favorite is 'LOVESONG' by Julius Lester
some other good ones are
'PILGRIMAGE OF A PROSELYTE'
'GATHERED STONES'
'ORDAINED TO BE A JEW'

There's more, but those will get you started.
for a good book about 'what being Jewish is LIKE', there are two very good ones:
To Be a Jew, by Herman Wouk
and
To Life! by Harold Kushner

basic judaism books:
Basic Judaism, by Milton Steinberg is good, though a bit dated.
Judaism for Dummies and
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Judaism are both quite good.

Rabbi Telushkin has many books  - massive ones - about Judaism - Jewish Literacy is a very good reference.

Just to get you started.
Blessed are You, HaShem, Who blesses the years.

Several who post here regularly did. Why do you ask? If you are interested in personal accounts, I can give you a list of books to read (autobiographical ones).
