Bill Gates on the Value of Reading

Gates fell in love with reading at a young age as a way of fulfilling his intellectual curiosity. He shares his personal book recommendations at gatesnotes.com.
[Reading] is one of the chief ways that I learn, and has been since I was a kid. These days, I also get to visit interesting places, meet with scientists and watch a lot of lectures online. But reading is still the main way that I both learn new things and test my understanding. (The New York Times)
