okay, that was ... (breaths in the positive, breaths out the negative) ... I dislike hitting submit and it doesn't post because my time expired.
Cathy Glass: Foster carer who writes about the children she has fostered over the past 25 years (a lot of learning from these books as far as how to deal with difficult situations and human condition)
Piers Anthony - especially the Incarnations of Immortality series (interesting theories about gods and deity)

Yes, it happens to all of us I think. A good habit is to copy your text before you press submit. Then if it happens you can just refresh (check it didn't go through) and paste it instead of trying to remember and rewrite! I've had to adopt that recently as a rule here

yeah, I usually copy. Because when I don't ... Murphy!
Gotta love that Murphy.
Go To Book:
Complete Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There is a lot of wisdom in his poetry.

For philosophy and deeper thinking I enjoy Ikigai by Hector Garcia or Wabi Sabi by Beth Kempton. Both of these books are great at repositioning my viewpoint to show that imperfection is okay and furthering my understanding of how to turn focus into results. I feel these two books are great for aspiring Jedi!
For furthering my technical knowledge I enjoy reading really anything published by no starch publications, right now I am reading their book on Penetration Testing, and plan to move into Cryptography soon!
For personal pleasure it's gotta be anything by Christopher Moore (Lamb specifically), the Pendragon series, or any of the Star Wars novels. All of these are just fun to read and are super easy to get lost in.

Right now I tend to lean on a few simple books.
For Knightly guidance Rules for a Knight by Ethan Hawke
For emotional guidance Taming the Tiger within By Thich Nhat Hanh
For Light reading of a Jedi flavor, The Jedi Path by Dan Wallace
I am also currently reading
The Situational Jedi by Opie Macleod
On Obligations by Cicero
