I’ve always enjoyed reading, but ever since I finished university, I’ve been constantly reading a book. I finish one and immediately start another. My favorite genres are historical contexts, science fiction, and war stories; however, I’ve also read comedy or romance if the book is really good. These are the five books on my list after the one I’m currently reading (For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway):

• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
• The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
• The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
• Life of Pi by Yann Martel
• The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli
• Walden by Henry David Thoreau
• A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
• Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
• The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
• Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
