Asterix ...

I wasn't joking. Asterix is one of my favourites as I just love the humour and admire the art of animation.

Some of my other favourites are;

1. The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám. His prose and philosophy is inspiring
2. The Prophet by Kalil Gibran
3. The Republic - Plato
4. New Atlantis - Sir Francis Bacon
5. The Girl who played with fire - Stieg Larsson (The girl with the dragon tattoo & The girl who kicked the Hornets' Nest)
6. Seven days - Deon Meyer (Trackers, Dead before dying etc etc)
7. The Doctor of Stalingrad - Heinz G. Konsalik ( I read many of his books when I was younger and more into the gory stuff)
8. Andre P Brink - The ambassador, Dry white season
9. Books about historical events - Egyptology and South Africa in particular (I hated history at school and shunned the subject)

I get my inspiration from the Bible and love reading about historical events and excavations that throws more light on the how, what and where to allow a better understanding and insight of events.

Yes it is the result of my attention deficit disorder
It is only R40 in $US
The international market is so much bigger than ours and they don't know what a Rand is, that is why I decided to distribute through Smashwords beside the fact that they do the distribution for free and only take a small comm for every book sold.
