Buddhism: An Introduction to the Buddha's Life, Teachings, and Practices

Buddhism: An Introduction to the Buddha's Life, Teachings and Practices by Joan Duncan Oliver is a lovely way to discover an ages old philosophy. 

Oliver is a great writer who has chosen to start this introduction with the life of the Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. Through the growth and changing of Buddhism as it spreads, including details on the three main traditions, this is an excellent primer on a beautiful way of life.

This is a great book to get you started if you are interested in Buddhism or meditation.
