The best books that I have found on Buddhism are a series. The author has "If the Buddha got stuck" "If the Buddha dated" and others. Check them out.

Buddhism is brilliant - the only problem for newcomers is that there are literally dozens of different Buddihst traditions, and some are very different from each other.
Some focus on individual enlightenment, while others focus on working towards the betterment of the global community as a whole. Some chant, some meditate.
Any search on Google will give you tons of Buddhist sites to check out. It's a good idea to spend some time exploring different areas of Buddhism so you can figure out which most appeal to you.
Some ideas include the beliefnet internet site - it offers info about all the major traditions. Wikipedia will also offer info and links to relevant websites.
Best of luck!

Check out "Buddha In Your Backpack (everyday buddhism for teens)" by Franz Metcalf
It's a general introduction that'll ease you into the religion and sort of applies it to every day modern life. Great book even if you aren't a teen.
Also, read anything by Thich Nhat Hanh
