The one book that has had the greatest impact on my life has been The Complete Works of Plato. It has helped me to keep my mind open and to consider all of the possibilities before opting for a course of action.
I have only because acquainted with the writings of Plato since I have been incarcerated. Had I read those pages years ago, I am certain I would not be in prison today.
