I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on good books or websites for introductions to buddhism. (especially books)
Not specifically looking for say Tibeting buddhism, or Zen buddhism.
Anyone read a good introduction? looking for both historical, as well as a comparison and contrast between the various schools of buddhism.
I've found
http://www.buddhanet.net/ which isn't bad, but sometimes I just like to have a dead tree in my hands
