If you're interested in Taoism you should start with the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu.

Lots of great CMA related books, on Qigong, Taijiquan, I think there are books in regards to Chen style and Yang style.

Hey Budo the above books mention are great!!
The Taiji classics which you have is highly recommended.
Depending on which style of Taiji you practice would depend on what books to get.
As for Taoism I highly recommend anything by Livia Kohn,Isabelle Robinet,Stephen R. Bokenkamp,Thomas Clearly,Holmes Welch,Arthur Waley.

The book Axe Hand; Hsing-i & Internal Strength Workout, is Traditional Chinese Internal Martial Arts with many methods for developing internal energy which have never been published before. Comments and focus of practice help with one’s own level of development, giving training insight into the internals, never articulated before. Shows how to feel and adjust Qi yourself.
Wrist and fore-arm stretches to help energy flow:
these can help with tendonitis, typing hands, carp-tunnel, and muscle knots;
that will help the energy flow through your wrists,
preventing injury and learning wrist locks as well as
teaching grappling seizures and locks,
and will help you transfer it more effectively.
Progress, consciousness, and power are all tested objectively in meditation, Qigong, martial drills, as well as in-animate objects.
Five move Tai Chi form, Hsing I Five Elements.
Standing Pole (Embrace the Moon or Hold the Ball), shifting the water and rising-expanding/sinking-contracting;
Fore-arm Throw double set, dynamic drill, adjusting moving root, responsive blocking enabling the same move for offence and defense, center of Qi as it moves through oneself and the center between two people;
Hsing-i San Ti: standing and moving for Qi and Fa Jing.
Good for all backgrounds since the essence is emphasized, rather than a particular language; although words are used, it is more what is between the words.
Instruction goes from the individual’s known, to his related unknown. Taught with the common ground of the 'shared lived experience' .
Internal means independent thought rather than compliance to a doctrine, having it make sense to you, in your own way: this is truly internal since its intrinsic nature is your soul.
Developing and practicing the 'universal' of the Qigong, rather than the particular application. Plato talks about universal concepts such as what is in common with all chairs to make them a chair.
Some Qigong very Yang, and will heat palms, the Yang Qigong methods will not only heat the practitioner, but the entire room.
This training regimen is based on various focuses of physical fitness, internal strength, meditation, forms, drills and exercises. Origins range from: propriety traditional sets, general domain traditional internal sets, a general styles set, free form internal calisthenics (Chi Kung, Nei Gong and Wei Gong), Shaolin Buddhist meditation, fighting coaches, healers and old folk’s drills.
The methods and techniques come from a number of schools of Internal Martial Arts; that are compatible with each other. None of these varied schools have ever physically warred directly with each other. This book does not contain any internal methods that I have learned that I know are from schools with historic military conflicts, or fundamental philosophical discrepancies. This avoids a chop-suey approach of using methods independent of their tenets, lacking a cohesive and qualitative growth.
