There are no required books. It's possible to be illiterate and still practice Buddhism well. On the other hand, although the Buddha himself (like Jesus) never wrote any books, his teachings were passed down orally for centuries and eventually written down. If you are interested in reading some, here are two excellent anthologies: BASIC TEACHINGS OF THE BUDDHA, Glenn Wallis, ed., (Modern Library) and IN THE BUDDHA'S WORDS, Bhikkhu Bodhi, ed. (Wisdom).
