I'm reading them and I'm liking them a lot
What else would you say one should read on Confucianism?

Imo reading the five classics after reading the four books is the best choice, start with I Ching. If you're worried about not liking it because it is mainly concerned with divination, don't be, it has pretty evident symbolic and philosophical value. If you don't know this already, the scholar that complied the four books, Zhu Xi, wrote other stuff, so maybe try out some of his other works.

why thank you
is the itching efficient as a divination method (I mean of course in the sense of as a medium for introspection through symbology).
