First of all, can I just say how much I love giving and receiving book recommendations? I was a religious studies major in college (and was even a T.A. in the World Religions class) so, this is right up my alley. So, I'm just going to take a seat in front of my book cases...

I'm not sure what you've read thus far, but the three most important books in the Daoist canon are, in generally agreed upon order:
Hey, I know I'm late, but I really recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1570624577/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1406661606&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
It's a lot more flowery and less of a literal translation, but I hear it captures the tone and style of the original much better than strictly literal translations.
No anger here! Just deep love for Chuang Tzu. ❤️ I highly recommend you find a good translation and experience this sublime work yourself. There is no substitute. ETA this is my favorite, FWIW

but of course opinions vary.
Sounds like a great place to start, I would also suggest reading Chuang-Tzu as a good followup to the TTC as well as picking up another copy of the TTC by a different translator. There is also a recommended reading list in the sidebar. The books are not overly expensive but there are free ebooks available in places if you'd rather save the money.
Edit: Also, because it has helped me so much, I would recommend trying some breathing meditation.
