There are many books on Buddhism available in bookstores and online. These are usually in the Spirituality or Philosophy section. Many are written as introductions by western writers and are quite enjoyable to read. Others like D.T. Suzuki's discussions of Zen Buddhism books are more of a slog but are much deeper.
