you wont find much books but search the internet for buddhism
confucism has basically borrowed many ideas form buddhism.

No, you don't understand!
Confusionism is a religion! I'm Confused, and proud of it!
Erowid has a good section about Buddhism... http://www.erowid.org/spirit/traditions/buddhism/buddhism.shtml
You can find plenty of books about buddhism, alot of them written by the dalai lama. Just look in any decent book shop and you'll find some. Somehow I feel it is neccesary to say "fuck that" to finding info on buddhism on the internet...
I you wan't to know about Buddhism I would highly recomend the Biography of Milarepa, He's a highly regarded Buddha from the middle ages.
"The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" (Not the Tibetan Book of the Dead, I wouldn't recomend that for a start up read) is also very good, or I thought it was when I read it.
I always thought that Confusism was older than Buddhism, at least is was in China before Buddhism was, I'm not completely sure about this but fairly confident.
I beleive there is a central text to it, but I don't know the name, probably your best bet.
