Dekins88: Get anyone you can lay your hands on, all are damn okay.
If you read one, believe me it would direct you to the next one you need to read.
Let me add to that,
- think and grow rich- Napoleon hill
-Ben carson's books (think big, gifted hands, the big picture)
-create your own future
-maximum achievement both by brain tracy.

25omega: A storm of swords by George RR Martin

This is the game of thrones series. Best book ever
That's just the 1st book there are four others, these books are hard to read man, so many characters, locations, settings etc to keep track of, plus the stylized English, Good read tho.

Dekins88: i came across that tough time never last but tough people do recently, hope is really motivational?
it's soo good, you're really missing something. .you won't regret reading it, honestly. .
ravensckar: Haha? wat is reali happenin here? Most of d buks I'm seein here r vry old buks. Imagine d buk Tough times never last bt tough pple do. Sincerely,I read ds buk wen I was in Pry skul nd dts abt 13yrs ago.
who cares if you read it in primary or nursery school? You think motivational books can ever be outdated or old? Smh. .why do we read books if not to learn and make some impacts in our lives? And you think learning can be late? ?You really need to change your mentality. .
