For Bill Gates, reading is not only a habit but also a solid foundation for his career. |
Not only does Bill Gates love reading, he is also passionate about criticizing works. He created a personal blog called Gates Notes to share articles about authors and works. Bill Gates also revealed that the number of books he adds to his collection is up to 50 a year. This is not a small number even for ordinary people who have a lot of free time to read.
Bill Gates not only absorbs knowledge from books but also uses it as a goal to inspire people about reading culture. “Reading and expanding knowledge is my endless passion. It is great that my blog is responded to and shared with everyone. I will continue to write book reviews and encourage you to cultivate this beneficial habit,” the billionaire shared on Gates Notes.
In addition to articles, Bill Gates' blog also introduces to readers many interesting books that have just been released. However, most of his bookshelves are in the academic, technical, and self-development genres, and only a small part of them are literary novels. He especially loves works with content revolving around humanity and life values that inspire each person to rise up.
