Depends on what you're wanting exactly. To start on Buddhist doctrine and such, I would suggest "The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings". For start on basic Buddhist practice, I suggest "The Miracle of Mindfulness", and for everyday mindfulness no matter your beliefs (if any), I've heard "Peace is Every Step" is fantastic for that, but I've not personally read that one.

EDIT: "The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh" is also an awesome overview of his writings in general. I've read that and highly recommend it. His "Mindfulness Essentials" series are also quick easy reads.
