What is a good way to start? Is there , like, a Religion For Dummies book or something?

Oi, there's so much out there it's really hard to know where to start. Popular books are a good place to at least get an idea of where you'd like to dig into.
The Bible Unearthed is a good book about the time that the Hebrew Bible came out of, so might be a good place to start.
