Rafael Mendez: Prelude to Brass Playing

All of the above books are biographies. The last one is free on my site.

All three cover how each guy conquered obstacles and pretty inspiring and interesting.

Zen and the Art of Archery is thought provoking and also a quick read.

"Zen ►in◄ the Art of Archery" is anything but a quick read. Perhaps "Zen ►and◄ the Art of Archery" (mentioned several times) is something different

If you're strong at heart and looking for something more than light, "summer" reading Lost Chords: White Musicians and their Contribution to Jazz, 1915-1945 by Richard M. Sudhalter is a superb, thought-provoking read.
