The Selfish Gene

by Richard Dawkins

One of the best popular book I have read. Each chapter unveiled something new and exciting about the biology. It made me think for a long time after finishing the book, which is always a sign of great literature.

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

by William L. Shirer

Who would have thought that the WWII history would be so gripping! I was thrilled during the whole duration of the audiobook. A unique experience.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

by Eliezer Yudkowsky

Another not-so-short book which I could not put off. Captivating and a fun reading.

Elon Musk

by Walter Isaacson

I love biographies, and I enjoyed this one as well. They make me appreciate the complexities and depth of the people, often reduced to flat and simple personalities in the headlines or short articles.

The Pillars of the Earth

by Ken Folett

This book transported me to the times long gone. It was an immersive experience which filled a hole in my historical awareness of 12th century with vivid scenes from lives of the characters.
