Bhagavad-gita As It Is. You can read or listen to it on-line at [url] http://www.krishna.com/main.php?id=291
The following is quoted from the cover blurb:

The largest-selling edition of the Gita in the Western world, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better.

Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries.

In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment.

The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life? Where is he going after death?

In response, Krishna brings His friend from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment, and each one of us is invited to walk the same path.

Dr. Elwin H. Powell, a professor of sociology at the State University of New York, wrote: "If truth is what works, as Pierce and the pragmatists insist, there must be a kind of truth in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, since those who follow its teachings display a joyous serenity usually missing in the bleak and strident lives of contemporary people."

Depends on what kind of inspiration you mean. So in general I'd have to say the Bible, russian literature, a few american novelists, the drudge, ann coulter, jonah goldberg, the chronicles of narnia (once every two years or so), a few blogs, and any book recommended to me by a good friend.

Too bad Superfly beat me to it. But I was going to say:

Penthouse Forum

[desultude]

If I want a quick fix of inspiration, I read something from The Enlightened Mind, An Anthology of Sacred Prose (ed. Stephen Mitchell).

I also read texts on Buddhism and books by The Dalai Lama.
