Thanks Prema.

I'm just waiting for Aristotle to arrive with his Nicomachean Ethics, after that I will probably go for Thiruvalluvar.

If you are into these old works there is an interesting book of poems and advice caled the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. "The Rubaiyat is not a single poem, but is rather a collection of verses written by or attributed to 'Umar Khayyam, the Persian mathematician, philosopher and astronomer who lived from ca. 1048 - 1122."
