as a matter of fact I do, but none of them have anything to do with wicca.

I really liked Venetia Rauls' "The Second Circle", and if you're interested in branching out beyond Wicca, I suggest Nicholas Graham's "The Four Powers: Magical Practice for Beginners of All Ages" (which is somewhat of a basic book, but it's an excellent guide to what's out there besides Wicca).
Beyond that, your best bet is to get books on specific topics that interest you; the "a little of this, a little of that" format of 101 books doesn't work well beyond 101. If you want some reviews, my book review blog is at http://lupabitch.wordpress.com and the left sidebar has links to other reviewers.

Most pagan authors are just horrible. Most of it is clap-trap.
But there are a couple (very few) that are good.
If you liked the Scott Cunningham book, try the part two called "Living Wicca: A further Guide for the Solitary Practitioner"
Also have a go with the Chris Penczak book that the other poster suggested.

You may like Chris Penczak's Inner Temple of Witchcraft, Outer Temple of Witchcraft, and The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft.
Read anything you can get your hands on and you'll learn how to discern the good stuff from the not so good. I don't get involved in the Flame Wars that some of the self proclaimed witches/wiccans do. They give the rest of us a bad name.

This book is old now...but you still might be able to find it.
The Power of the Witch by Laurie Cabot.
Every year I suggest buying the "Magickal Almanac" or "Witches Calendar" by Llewellyn.
Blessesd be! Have a great Samhain!

Seriously, find a tradition and get the books associated with it, or find a tradition you like and think might be the way for you and get the books associated with that trad.
Past 101, it's ALLLLLL about the context.

Not specifically Wiccan, but I like "Pagan Spirituality" by Joyce and River Higginbotham.

This is my default post for people asking for book recommendations. :-) I'm a fan of most of Issac Bonewits work.
(And DO NOT get Silver Ravenwolf books. Sheesh! I thought her lack of academic focus was common knowledge.)
