I suggest the words in red ( Words of Christ ) of the New Testament, even if you are not a believer. It is pure wisdom for all.
Then I would read Seeds of Greatness, by Dennis Waitley.
From that book: Einstein believed, "Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

Anything by: Honore de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Junichiro Tanizaki, Yukio Mishima, Joseph Conrad, Anton Chechov. It's a good place to start, and years of fantastic entertainment.

Swann's Way by Proust, Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, Old Goriot by Balzac, If on a Cold Winter's Night a Traveler by Calvino. That would be enough for now.

If you like books in a series, and fantasy fiction, like I do, then read books by Mercedes Lackey, Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, and of course, if you have a lot of time on your hands, The Lord of the Rings is a really good book.
