Why Buddhism is True is the best I’ve read. Quite sciencey, and a very particular take on Buddhism, but that will be true regardless of what you read. Buddhism is just as broad a church as Christianity.
Or maybe Thich Nhat Han if you want something fluffier. The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching might work. He’s Zen, but the Vietnamese branch.
And a plug for Meditation without Gurus by Clark Strand if you decide to meditate.
