In Search of the Way
If one wanted to learn about Buddhism, where should one start? I know vaguely about it, enough to know there are various branches, etc. and the basic-basic core philosophy (life is suffering, etc.), but don't know where to go from there to get a better sense of the philosophy/discipline/religion/outlook. Can someone suggest books, either secondary (i.e. about Buddhism) or primary (i.e. scriptures / sutras / whatever), or other resources I might pursue?
