I just read the Bhagavad Gita, I agree with its previous reccomendations.
I'd like to encourage anyone who hasn't so far, to read C.S. Lewis. In addition to the previous suggestions, I'll add "The Great Divorce" to the list. Its a short read (a couple hours tops), but certainly thought provoking.
Right now I'm in the middle of "The River Why" by David James Duncan. Not sure yet, but it could be near the top of my list by the time it is done.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
