I think Simon Singh's 'The Code Book' is an excellent way to get into ciphers and the Challenges at the back of the book are fun to attempt, even though the prize has already been won. After that David Kahn's 'The Code Breakers' will take you further into the subject and is highly readable.

If you want to get into solving ciphers then I recommend you join the American Cryptogram Association, where you will get a 2-monthly magazine with articles on solving ciphers, and access to skilled people who know what they are doing and can help you. You will also get 100 ciphers to solve in each magazine. Have a look at http://www.cryptogram.org/
to find out how to join.

As far as Chaocipher is concerned, I think all that's relevant has been gathered together at the Chaocipher Clearing House.
