The book to read is Reasons and Persons by Derek Parfit.
Seconded -- it's a wonderful book -- with the caveat that it's long and dense and small-print and may be intimidating to the easily intimidated.
[EDITED to add:] But it's long and dense because there's a lot in it, not because it's wordy and confusingly written; Parfit writes more clearly than most philosophers.
