Reading is one of the great passions of my life. I read mostly history but from time to time I'll pick up a novel. Some of my favorite novels are War and Peace, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Metro 2033. As for history, I really enjoyed The Rising Sun, Clash, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and Common Sense. It's a shame more people don't read, I really think reading has improved me as a person. It has nurtured my mind and my soul.
