Inspiring reading on Education & Learning

After a 15 year hiatus, it looks likely that I'll be taking up teaching again in 2019. In the interim, I'm looking for a broad spread of reading recs to help rekindle this flame. Textbooks, polemics, biography, fiction, websites... what are your most important sources of inspiration on the power of good teaching and being taught well?
Peripherally relevant - I'm trained in EFL teaching and will, at least initially, be working in this same area again. I never fell out of love with teaching, just into a broadly different work sphere.

Barbara Oakley has been very engaging-I heard her in a podcast before I tracked down her books.

The Place of World Englishes in Composition (2006) has probably been the most influential (and enjoyable to read!) article in that area.
