Hello, I'm new to this. I've read a few things about the life of Buddha and I found it interesting. I was wondering if there are collections of sayings of the Buddha. Or maybe some books for beginners, audiobooks would be nice, as I prefer not to stare into the monitor for hours. By the way, I don't believe in reincarnation, does Buddhism make any sense without it? I'm an atheist.

I've read "The Buddha, his life and teachings" - Piyadassi Thera, "Scientific acceptability of rebirth", "Siddhartha" - Herman Hesse, "How to see yourself as you really are" - Dalai Lama

I'd like to know the difference between Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism, a link to material explaining this would be enough.
