Long Live the Queen

This is perhaps my most favourite non-fiction of all time. Reading about the Queen would be fascinating to me under any circumstances; I have long admired her. In this gem of a book, the author has dissected the Queen's life mantras and packaged it into neat, bite-sized standalone chapters. This book here is the best possible life advice with a healthy dose of old-fashioned pragmatism, a little bit of stoicism and a great deal of common sense. It covers all aspects of one's life - eating, working, playing, thinking, aging... Long Live the Queen has a permanent spot in my bookshelf forever.
