    The Prophet, by Omar Khayyam - the most beautiful prose that you will ever find. Also a beautiful artwork in animated film.

    The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam originally published 1892 and still relevant today. Written as lyric poem in quatrains (four-line stanzas) presenting the deep feelings and emotions of the poet on subjects such as life, death, love, and religion.

    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.
