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. :)

Various blogs: Manyul Im's Chinese philosophy blog; Useless Tree; interview at PhilosophyTalk plus lots of links

Response by poster: Thanks Abiezar, I'll check those out.

To any late-comers, I'm still following this thread via RSS, so your input is still welcome!

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