While you're on the subject, permit me to suggest:
Lankavatara Sutra: Suzuki and Goddard pdf, Suzuki Hardcover
Anything by Alan Watts
Thanks, DWT, those are good additions to the list! Suzuki, in fact, was the first Buddhist writer I ever read, when I read his essays in Zen and the Birds of Appetite. I also have greatly enjoyed a number of Watts' books – Buddhist, Taoist, and Christian.
Best wishes, and happy new year…
