I have been reading Middlemarch (George Eliot) most recently. It reminds me that all human beings (i.e. not just alcoholics/addicts) can make incredible blunders in life. I haven't finished it, but I have a good idea where it is heading.
For music I liked Sixx AM in early recovery. It is a little on the depressing side now.
I am not a big fan of philosophy any more. It makes my head hurt trying to read it.
