These are some pretty good recommendations. May I inquire why poetry is not included in your recommendations? A great translation is the Rubaiyat of Omar Kayyam. Robert Cummings and Maya Angelou are intriguing modern poets. There’s Oscar Wilde and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and so many more. Books of all sorts are explorations of self and understanding. But, poetry is the song of the human soul.

I actually have copies of Le Petit Prince in English and Farsi.

Oh, excellent point. I adore poetry, I have no idea why I overlooked it :)
