Tao Te (no shit), I'd hit up the Yi-King shortly afterward to pick up on some of the esoteric precepts and underlying cosmological assumptions in practice.

Welhelm-Barnes is still the standard 'correct' translation, but I really like Karcher's Concordance.

Then Zhuangzi before you start rounding out the myriad of other materials, provided you wanna specialize that deeply.

Oh boy. No matter the perspective of the written word in comparison to walking the path (though to be quite frank, I feel each text is a footstep as much as block of chopped wood or a pail of carried water), the old scholars considered some of these texts to be classic, and worthy of review, if not study.
