Well, the Pillow Book is a heck of a read--she's so poignant, and so catty, and so thoroughly unlikable, and so very just like us. Plus sometimes it's parodied or referred to in manga. I'd say that's a must-read (if you haven't already and aren't just debating about whether to get that particular translation--I can't remember which one I have, so I'm no help there).
