Thought I'd open up a post dedicated to sharing and gathering the raw material of all PRers. So what are the BEST books out there to photoread and direct learn from?
Any opinions?
Any favorites?

How about a small collection of books that would have a profound effect on certain mental functions like:

Creativity
Lateral thinking
Logic/Reasoning skills
Intuition
Motivational books
Musical abilities
Artistic abilities
Foreign Languages
Mental Calculation
etc. . .

my favorites for creativity:
The colected works of William Shakespear,
The complete works of P.B. Shelly,
Complete stories and poems of Edgar Poe,
and pretty much anything else along those lines.
