Isaac Asimov, Anne McCaffery, George Burns, Marcus du Sautoy, Ian Stewart, Ethan Winer and Roger Zelazny.

Yes, it is Mostly fiction and light science for a change, but HELL - it is the holidays -  FFS!
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

A Denver Junior League cookbook, Rodale's book on herbs, Abundance (fiction about Marie Antoinette), The History of the English Language (old PBS show), a mystery about a papal election (sorry Soph the old pope died of old age and the new one is alive at the end), and some others I don't recall.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

It's been decades since I last read anything by Zelazny. I remember liking Creatures of Light and Darkness.

Some work-related documents. A book about Spanish idioms. Rereading Stephen Fry's autobiography.

Every single one of them word by word, trying very hard not to look back, to battle my OCD.

Zelazney.  The Amber novels, enjoyed the first one in the 1960's, but never could find any after that (little $ on hand, not at the library, few bookstores, pre-computer - all reasons I didn't read any others).  Will have to read him again.  Thanks for the idea Odeon.
