Once at a bookstore in New York I saw a quote painted on the wall saying “When I get a little money I buy books. And if there is any left over I buy food. — Desiderius Erasmus”. I was very impressed by those words and indeed, over the last couple of years I’ve come to realize that reading is one of the most powerful ways to feed the mind. Now it’s hard for me to imagine a more pleasant activity than immersing into a good book.

On this page you can see what I’ve read and what I’m reading now. Latest reads are listed in chronological order starting with the most recent ones. Favorites are listed in the order in which I would pack them if I had to move to a planet where there are no bookstores. Lastly, at the very bottom you can find a link to my reading wish list.
