Assalamu alaikkum!
If you want to learn more about Islam, I'd recommend reading the Koran.
After the Koran is the Sunnah, the traditions based on the life and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, salallahu alayhi wa salam.
The Koran and Sunnah define Islam, it is often the scholars who study the Sunnah deeply to guide the Ummah, the community of Muslims.
Here the Five Pillars of the Islamic faith:
1. Shahada
This is the Islamic declaration of faith.
La ilaha ill Allah Muhammadur Rasul Allah.
There is no god but God and Muhammad is His Messenger.
If you recite this, you are a Muslim. It is the basic declaration of Islamic faith.
2. Salat
These are the daily prayers obligatory of all Muslims. They are five prayers prescribed throughout the day by the position of the sun.
Here is how and when Muslims pray. Learning Salat can take a little while, but it becomes memorized quickly.
Salat brings a lot of inner peace and keeps Muslims away from sin. Muslims pray a lot.
3. Sawm
This means fasting. Fasting on Ramadan is obligatory, fasting on Sunnah days is voluntary.
Fasting helps us to get closer to God, to Allah, and also to remember and help those who are in need.
4. Zakat
This means charity of giving alms. Muslims are obligated to give 2.5% of their wealth to charity each years.
You are not obligated to give a tithe to an Imam or Masjid (mosque). You can give to charity of your choice or how you choose to give.
5. Hajj
This is the pilgrimage to Makkah, a journey that all Muslims strive to undertake at least once in their life.
Makkah is home to the Kaaba, the oldest house of worship for God. It is a very holy city where only Muslims are allowed.
Muslims pray Salat in the direction of the Kaaba, the Qibla. Muslims do not pray to the Kaaba itself, but pray to God in one direction: The Qibla.

These are the basics of Islam and the bare minimum you need to know to start practicing Islam. There is more to learn in the Koran and Sunnah.
Another obligation of Islam is for us to invite others to Islam, to preach the message of Islam, this is called Dawah.
I wrote all this in order to invite you to Islam! This is my Dawah to you. I hope you become a Muslim.
This might take time, but if you read the Koran you will find it is beautiful and true.
God bless, or as Muslims say: Barakallah.
