I read This Book Needs No Title first and then The Tao Is Silent (that title felt like it would be a book requiring some serious effort to read -- not at all so! These are among the books that just made me giggle while reading them). I would naturally suggest the same order, though I don't know if there's anything more to that than my own experience.

As long as we're at it, if you liked one of his puzzle books, you'd probably enjoy others -- the ones I've read all start in roughly the same way and then diverge (discussing, e.g., Infinity, Gödel's theorem, and combinatory logic through puzzles).

EDIT: Oh, and if you've come across Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, that's a much more Western approach to some of the same ideas. Also recommended -- although this one does feel much heavier.

I made this post some time ago about affective non-fictional books; you should, well, you should read all of them, really. :-) But particularly Impro if you ever have the chance.

This is mentioned as a joke in the book To mock a mockingbird.
Great book, for those who like this kind of stuff.

If someone can come up with an entire booklet of bird names for combinators, I think we can come up with at least slightly better names here.
