Buddhism: “It’s Easier Than You Think” by Sylvia Boorstein
Taoism: “Tao Te Ching,” by Lao Tzu, Stephen Mitchell translation
Shinto: “Shinto: The Kami Way” by Sokyo Ono
Confucianism: “An Introduction to Confucianism” by Xinzhong Yao
Hinduism: “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Hinduism” by Linda Johnson

There are, of course, hundreds of books on each tradition and everyone will have their favorites. These books are simply the ones that I return to periodically to refresh or update my understanding.
