I know Abaya didn't think it was intense enough, but The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh is easily one of the best books to be introduced to Buddhism through, IMO. One of Thich Nhat Hanh's great strengths is writing about Buddhism in a very accessible manner. Furthermore, even if you're already familiar with Buddhism, I still think it's quite an excellent book because of the very fact it is such relatively light reading. It lends a fresh voice to the subject.
