Essential Zen par Kazuaki Tanahashi
Many pithy sayings, mostly understandable. I copied several down in a notebook, which I kept and read on occasion over many years.
an excerpt that i find endlessly hilarious:

An introduction to Zen chanting practice, with new accurate and chantable translations of the texts used in Zen centers and monasteries throughout the English-speaking world—by the renowned translator of Dogen and Ryokan.
