Here's some book recommendations. The thing is... you really can't get Buddhism from a book. It's fine to read, but the written word always distorts it no matter how articulate and expressive the author is.
You can get a more accurate understanding only with a good teacher and lots of practice. But, of course everybody wants to read before they invest that kind of effort, so here you go! :)

Why do Buddhists shave their heads? Rather than being a sign of humility, is this not MORE image-conscious, because of the effort required?

Good listing, HasntBeen. Heavy on the Zen focus though, isn't it?
