Confucius say... what, exactly?

Suggested reading about the life and teachings of Confucius? I've read the article at Wikipedia and seen the reading list there, but would love some personal recommendations.

I don't read or speak chinese, so keep that in mind. :)

Just had cause to read a bit of this collection of essays at Google Books - Confucian Ethics in Retrospect and Prospect.
