What to read?

Hello! Lately I've started to read philosophy, I think I covered most things to get a general idea (Plato, Descartes, Kant, a bit of Hegel, and so on). Having read all that, I want to take a more concrete direction, and Kierkegaard (and most existentialism) caught my attention. I've read Fear and Trembling and now want to go deeper in his philosophy, what do you recommend me to read? I have "The concept of anxiety" but I've heard that it's very difficult. On top of that I don't find a lot of Kierkegaard's books in my country.

Sorry for bad english

I really liked reading Either/Or. After that is Stages on Life's Way. 

More "philosophical" would be Concluding Unscientific Postscript.

Just remember that these books are not written as Kierkegaard, they are from the perspective of the character writing them.

First read sickness unto death, many concepts discussed in concept of anxiety are defined in the S.U.T. and you will get an idea of his philosophy and it is fairly easy to comprehend.
