Riddle Books

I'm looking for some books that contain riddles. I'm currently trying to improve my abstract thinking. It would be nice to have a book that is in the Kindle format, and that is free. The free part isn't a big deal, just a preference.

Do you mean something like this from our library here?

Somewhat like that. I prefer the word riddles such as:

"Is known by both masculine and feminine names,
And burns up without rain;
Originates from a man and goes into a man,
But no one has been able to guess what it is."

So riddles in this type of format.

Sorry, I can't help you with this kind of riddles. Maybe you can go to Amazon.com and use the search function there to get some recommendations.

And maybe you will find it fun joining our Quiz-thread here, although it is not only about word riddles:
