For instrumental (melody line) type stuff, the John King "Classical Ukulele" book will certainly keep you busy for awhile. Mark Kailana Nelson's "Learn to Play Fingerstyle Solos" book is a good one too.

For accompanying, I'd suggest you Google and YouTube around to learn various picking patterns (banjo rolls, Travis picking, etc.) You can apply those to any chord, and it will add a nice dimension to your playing, beyond just strumming.

Something by Leo Kottke, perhaps, or John Fahey, then?

Try just picking the songs you can strum. A little traverse picking - you'll find it a challenge.
 
The Ken Middleton songs are terrific to learn -- and a tad tricky.
 
Finger style tab

I would suggest you find the Tab to Stairway To Heaven. Easy to play and a great tune to know. There are a few Great versions out there.
