My reading list:

 

Nei Jing - I get great mileage out of the Science and Technology Press translation including some laughs. It is very interesting to see how the government approved translation goes in direct variance to the characters. I.e. the origin of the wei qi in the lower burner.

 

Mai Jing - Wang is my hero, he revived Shang Han Za Bing Lun, and this text is amazing. I have on loan an 1800's version I am working on with a translation team of two.

 

Nan Jing - chapter two on the yang aspect in the distal positions and the yin aspect of the proximal positions presents a world of knowledge and potential practice strategies.

 

Aristotle's Organon - logical roots of Western medicine, deals with humoral medicine of pre-medieval Europe.

 

Kabbala Denudata of Knorr Von Rosenroth - spiritual and alchemical Hebraic traditions with Christian overtones. I can't figure out what it means but some transformation takes place in the reading as is true with all the texts listed, but especially true on a personal level with this one.
