Batchelor does a superb job in illuminating Buddhism with the inessential cruft (mysticism, reincarnation, dogma) removed. The result is a wonderfully freeing book that balances action and thought. It gave me a new perspective on "dharma".

Has a great epistemological exposition on the nature of belief. It?s worth reading just for that. If you only read one book on Buddhism this month this should be the one.
