These are all good TOC and Critical Chain books I’ve personally read to date (that I think are good.) I recommend reading them in the listed order. The ones I list as concept books are important to read first so the more technical books make sense.
Theory of Constraints (TOC)
- The Goal – THE TOC concept overview, novel form
- Necessary But Not Sufficient – TOC and ERP concepts, novel form
- Theory of Constraints – Technical aspects of TOC, further concept depth
Critical Chain Project Management
- Critical Chain – THE Critical Chain concept overview, novel form
- Project Management in the Fast Lane – Technical aspects of Critical Chain
- Projects in Less Time – The Basics of Critical Chain
- Critical Chain Project Management – Generally touted as one of the best CCPM books

Josh,
Since you’re very interested in Critical Chain, I suggest two other, later, works on critical chain. the first, is Larry Leach’s book, lean project management, and the second, is mine, Projects in Less Time.
Both of these attempt to close the gap between the early theory and the practice. Both will fill in the blanks.
