Introductory books to Buddhism

I'm looking for some book(s) that are generally regarded as a good introduction to Buddhism. I know very little about Buddhism, having only read one book on it so far (*What Makes You Not a Buddhist* by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche ). I found the book entertaining, but I'm not sure it was the best introduction for someone completely ignorant on the matter. Are western takes on Buddhism - or at least books on Buddhism by western authors - a good way to start? Or should one jump right into books like the *Tibetan Book of the Dead* ? **What are some books generally regarded as good for a general introduction on Buddhism?**
