Dear Mongolia, 

Let's start with his son's biography: 

My Father, Envar Hoxha (by Ilir Hoxha)
http://www.oneparty.co.uk/compass/compass/com13604.html 

There is also an autobiography: 
The Artful Albanian: Memoirs of Enver Hoxha / by Enver Hoxha, Jon Halliday - 1986 

There are a couple of comprehensive book in French: 

L'Albanie d'Enver Hoxha: 1944-1985 by Gabriel Jandot 

Thomas Schreiber: Enver Hodja: le sultan rouge, Paris 1994

And in German: 
Enver Hoxha, der Pharao des Sozialismus und der Söhne des albanischen
Adlers / Rino Benincasa

Two academic books recommended by Wikipedia are: 

Albanian Stalinism, Pipa, Arshi, Boulder: East European Monographs, 1990 

and

Albania in Occupation and War, Owen S. Pearson, I.B. Tauris, London 2006

and another useful book about Hoxha might be: 

James O´Donnell: A coming of age: Albania under Enver Hoxha, Boulder 1999.

One can also find a list of books written by Hoxha at the site
AnvarHoxha.info (this guy has fans?)
http://www.enverhoxha.info/index.asp

Some of his works are available through Marxist.org
http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hoxha/index.htm 

You should definitely read 
Comrade Loulo and the Fun Factory
http://www.diacritica.com/degenerate/5/enver.html 

And Isma'il Kadare has written this book, which is a fictional account
of the topic:
The Successor (Pasardhësi) 2003 (trans. by David Bellos 2005)
