Sayings: The Wisdom of Zen This is a decent little book even though I thought it was a bit short (finished reading it in about 20 minutes). The sayings and stories deserve contemplation so this is the type of book you should go through slowly and think about. The material can be rather deep for someone who is just learning about or trying to learn about Zen Buddhism. If this is the case, I would recommend a more detailed book that provides explanations and interpretations. I was mainly drawn to this book because of the traditional Japanese artwork/illustrations in it.
