Re: What to read??
I'd advise against getting Attack and Defense. It's a great book, but is aimed more at a mid sdk. I'm not sure how much you'd get from it as a 1k, although if you feel weak at middlegame fighting, then the book may be for you.

Re: What to read??
nothing is better than playing against someone stronger than 5D.
5D+ usually have correct moves and if you can learn how their view of the game is different than yours then you will improve faster.

Re: What to read??
My advice would be:
"Get Strong at Tesuji",
"Tesuji",
"1001 Life-and-Death Problems",
"Attack and Defend",
"Graded Go Problems Volume 4",
and then: "501 Tesuji Problems".

I'm pretty sure the guy who gave you the advice would agree to play
I hope he will still have enough free time when I'll be strong enough to ask a Malkovich game
