So, in no particular order of preference:
Who Stole Feminism? by Christina Hoff Sommers
The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers
Why Men Rule: A Theory Of Male Dominance by Steven Goldberg
The Myth Of Male Power by Warren Farrell
Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind The Pay Gap, And What Women Can Do About It by Warren Farrell
Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture by Paul Nathanson & Katherine K.Young

Brain Sex: The Real Difference Between Men & Women by Anne Moir & David Jessel
The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine
Heterophobia: Sexual Harrassment And The Future Of Feminism by Daphne Patai
There are other books out there, of course, but each of these says a specific essential point better than anything else I've read, & you won't go far wrong with them.
I used to be a feminist. These are the books that helped me change my mind.

This is an excellent group of books, although I haven’t read 3 of them as I lost the ability to read something as large as a book around 2004. However I have read the others and would particularly recommend Who Stole Feminism and The Myth of Male Power to anyone who doesn’t read much to get a good idea of what’s going on in just two books.
It’s impressive that you have read the listed books in the article, and I would expect that your view of our cultural dynamics in which feminism takes hold is exceptional.
Archi.
Yes, I think Farrell & Sommers are still the best introductions to the Men's Human Rights Movement. There is still no book out there that comprehensively covers all the necessary pieces, though perhaps that is too big a task for one book - I attempted writing one myself but it quickly grew out of hand.
There have been several new books lately which I will have to try get around to. I'm still about halfway through Steve Moxon's The Woman Racket, which is an easy read.
