My Reading Recommendations for the Study of Zoroastrianism
The Zoroastrian Faith: Tradition & Modern Research, by S.A. Nigosian. McGill-Queen's University Press, 1993.
This was the book we used in a college course that covered Zoroastrianism and other Near Eastern religions. The professor that taught the course, Dr. Daniel Borsay, always has a knack for choosing excellent reading material. It's a good introduction, and not too long. Click here to buy from Amazon. (They allow you to look inside on this one).
Cosmos, Chaos & the World to Come: The Ancient Roots of Apocalyptic Faith, by Norman Cohn. Yale University Press, 1995 (reprinted in 1999), 2nd Edition.
A captivating account of the development of Apocalypticism, which Cohn believes has its roots firmly in Zoroastrianism. I really loved this book. Click here to buy from Amazon (They allow you to look inside on this one).
