FWIW decades ago I enjoyed "The Tao is Silent" by the late Raymond Smullyan.
Having just scanned for modern reviews I suggest the following link may be helpful--here is an excerpt of their conclusion : "...
All in all, The Tao Is Silent is an interesting book filled with Taoist and Zen wisdom pared down from a complex framework to meet the needs of a contemporary (nineteen-seventies) Western audience, and I can recommend it to people starting out with Taoism with the caveat that itβs aiming for a Western readership with all the guailo-fication that implies. -- Jacob Martin
