Well, it kind of depends what you're interested in taking photos of. If you were to look at all the photos you've taken to date, what themes do you see that point to your interests? Photography is much easier to learn if you focus on something your passionate about.

That being the case I'd suggest the Nature book and Composition as well.  They're probably a good start for your interests :)

Hi Proarchers - I agree with Malcolm about starting with the Composition book first for the photo workshop. My 1st book of the series was "Photos that Inspire". I choose this book 1st to see what type of photography was out there and what type inspires me then I bought the Composition book. The composition book has help me out a great deal. Still working on some of those assignments like "Panning to Create Motion".
