I read some books on taoism. But i was wondering what other books i can find that are worth reading on this topic.
So if anyone knows good taoist books.

I highly suggest that you check out:
Tao Te Ching: The Definitive Edition
Author: Jonathan Star
Although I cannot adamantly agree that this is the "definitive" edition, I can point out that what differentiates this edition from all the others I have encountered is the undeniably unique twist that Mr. Star includes in addition to his translation and commentary: the presentation of the original chinese, character by character, with accompanying meanings for each character.
That unique presentation enables one to consider and to compose a personal translation for the various 'chapters' of the Tao Te Ching - instead of just receiving yet another author's personal translation.
This is a new book, and can be somewhat searched on amazon.com - and might be sitting on the shelves in hardcopy at your local bookstore.
Good books on taoism
