I highly recommend Jasper Fforde (The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots, Something Rotten and Thursday Next: First Among Sequels).
I also enjoyed Peter Farrelly's The Comedy Writer.
Unfortunately, reviewing your lists, I'm afraid you've finished up your quota of good books. Your choices are as follows:
* Are You a Unicorn? The Mission and Meaning of Unicorns * Thomas Kinkade - Painter of Light * anything by Kevin J Anderson * Selling by Phone: How to Reach and Sell to Customers in the Nineties * Meet the Star's of Dawson's Creek (sic) * The Big Betrayal: How Jesuits Murdered Abraham Lincoln
Alternately, I've become a big fan of Gene Wolfe, although I have absolutely no clear idea if you'd like him. His short story collections (Storeys from the Old Hotel, Innocents Aboard) and his big epic saga ("The Solar Cycle" - start with Shadow of the Torturer) are radically different; you might favor the short stories.
Most interesting nonfiction I've read in a while was Who Killed Chaucer?, edited-more-than-written-by Terry Jones. It's highly speculative, and like so much of its type is a hundred times better at raising interesting questions than answering them, but insists on trying anyway. But it's a fascinating glimpse of an interesting period, and of our misconceptions of that period.
