I read the tales of Uncle Remus when I was a small boy and loved them. Recently, I found a copy of all of the tales online and decided to reread them. Still a great read. Brer Rabbit---and Uncle Remus himself---smokes a pipe.
Currently reading Mythago Wood, a classic of British fantasy literature. Been reading a lot of fantasy recently to keep me in that mindset, as I'm 21,000 words into a manuscript of my own, so it helps to keep me focused.

Not really a inspirational type book reader but got to learn about Ant Middleton through a UK TV series called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS:_Who_Dares_Wins then they made a series in Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAS_Australia:_Who_Dares_Wins with celebrities and sports people I loved it.
I will be buying more of his books I really enjoy the way he writes, insights and mantras
Life and leadership lessons from the Special Forces, accompanying the Channel 4 series SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Are you up to the challenge of SAS leadership? Only the best will succeed...
Britain's SAS (Special Air Service) has an unparalleled reputation for soldiering excellence. Their skills and techniques have been perfected in the most demanding environments imaginable, but many of these can also be used in our everyday lives.
This book takes situations all of us will experience during our lives and presents tactical lessons drawn from SAS training and battlefield experience. Its four authors - stars of the hit Channel 4 show SAS: Who Dares Wins - how their finely honed understanding of how to handle extreme challenges can be applied in any environment. Their advice on negotiation, people management, self-motivation and resilience, among other things, can transform your performance in a whole range of scenarios: from buying a house, nailing a job interview, and the experience of dealing with rejection, to maintaining a diet, or managing that pushy colleague at work.
This is the ultimate guide to leadership and personal achievement.
No one is born a leader. But through sheer determination and by confronting life’s challenges, Ant Middleton has come to know the meaning of true leadership. In First Man In, he shares the core lessons he’s learned over the course of his fascinating, exhilarating life.
Special forces training is no walk in the park. The rules are strict and they make sure you learn the hard way, pushing you beyond the limits of what is physically possible. There is no mercy. Even when you are bleeding and broken, to admit defeat is failure.
To survive the gruelling selection process to become a member of the elite you need toughness, aggression, meticulous attention to detail and unrelenting self-discipline, all traits that make for the best leaders.
After 13 years service in the military, with 4 years as a Special Boat Service (SBS) sniper, Ant Middleton is the epitome of what it takes to excel. He served in the SBS, the naval wing of the special forces, the Royal Marines and 9 Parachute Squadron Royal, achieving what is known as the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the UK’s Elite Forces. As a point man in the SBS, Ant was always the first man through the door, the first man into the dark, and the first man in harm’s way.
In this fascinating, exhilarating and revealing book, Ant speaks about the highs and gut-wrenching lows of his life – from the thrill of passing Special Forces Selection to dealing with the early death of his father and ending up in prison on leaving the military – and draws valuable lessons that we can all use in our daily lives.

A good read
Today, the seductive allure of pipe smoking has never been stronger. This elegant, full-color book is both a celebration of the pipe -- the history, romance, and lore -- and a practical guide that advises readers on how to care for pipes, choose the right blend of tobacco, and enrich the smoking experience.
