I've finished reading the books pictured below, and I'd like to continue learning. If you know of any good books about culture please recommend them here.

Give 'Geography of Thought' a look. It's about how culture shapes the way people perceive the world. Lots of experimental support, but in a readable form. If you've lived in Korea for very long, light bulbs will be going off often as you recognize things.

Hall's 'Beyond Culture' is a staple reading, too. Interesting sections on time-space perceptions, and of course socio-linguistic considerations.

From the titles shown in your OP, it looks like you're interested in cultural applications for business. Cool. Try looking into some organizational behavior texts, too. Nancy Adler usually includes sections on culture in her work.

Culture for the ages.

While it's not about national cultures, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a great book dealing with different ways of thinking that could be applied when comparing cultures or comparing people within a culture (as the author does in comparing people and ways of thinking in a university setting).

Thanks for the suggestions!

Here is a good culture and business link:

I would like to suggest Benedict Andersons 'Imagined Communities' which isn't 100% about culture but about the general fallacy of nation states. It came up all the time in anthropology modules at uni.
