We continue the "" section, in which we talk about books by interesting personalities. This article is a list of the favorite books of the entrepreneur and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.

Bill Gates has changed the life of every person on earth. Developed countries have become so not least thanks to Microsoft. Third world countries, where no one cares about computerization yet, received billions of dollars from Gates in the form of charity. Twenty-eight billion, if anything.

After stepping down as CEO of Microsoft in 2008, Gates began to pay more attention to his wife's charitable foundation and personal life. Not the last place in his new life was taken by reading. There is no reason to doubt that even before leaving Microsoft, Gates read hundreds of books, but given the freer schedule, he was able to devote more time to reading.

On the Gates website, he shares his impressions of the books he has read. There are already more than a hundred reviews, and one cannot fail to notice the unusual tastes of the former head of Microsoft. There is both a biography of Steve Jobs and The Hunger Games by Susan Collins.

Of course, not every book on this list liked Gates, but, fortunately, in numerous interviews he spoke more than once about his favorite books.
