I was wondering which books have you read that gave you lots of motivation.
Specially books that are written in a sort of poetic style, like Avadhut Gita.
Love that one.
Kind regards

The classic Autobiography of a yogi.
The Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche. Its Roche's intepretation of Vij?ana Bhairava Tantra and is poetic. Every word is delicious and savory.
These two stand out, will add more later.
Edit:
The Upanishads- Eknath Easwaran.
Bhagavad Gita.
Man's Eternal Quest- Paramahansa Yogananda.
Daniel Odier- Tantric Quest: An Encounter with Absolute Love.
Daniel Odier:Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening.
The Tibetan Book of the dead.
Roy Eugene Davis:The Path of Light.
Swami Kriyananda: Awaken to Superconsciousness.
Sally Kempton- Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga.
All of Yogani's books.

The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
For some reason I can open any page of this book and I immediately feel loved and comforted and ecstatic bliss.

I agree AutoBio of a Yogi is a must read (the movie doesn't cut it)
I have a lot of favorites- for some reason I'm remembering the book Ishmael - that was really impactful in getting me on a spiritual path...Peaceful Warrior was great as well as Journey of Socrates both by Dan Millman.
I'll think of more...
