With summer fast approaching,random sex video chat it's time to start compiling your vacation reading list. And fortunately, Bill Gates is here to help.
On Monday, the philanthropist and Microsoft cofounder revealed his summer reading list, and they're all books that'll keep you company on any adventure you embark on this summer, as well as teach you something new throughout the hot months.

"What makes a genius tick? Why do bad things happen to good people? Where does humanity come from, and where are we headed?"
These are huge existential musings but they're all in keeping with Gates' typical brand of summer reading recommendations. In 2017, for instance, Gates recommended Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deuswhich is about how society in the 21st century might influence the future of humanity. And in 2016, Gates recommended The Vital Questionby Nick Lane, which is about cellular biology.
But don't worry, Gates promises that even the most intense books in his recommendation list still make for great summer reads.
"Despite the heavy subject matter, all these books were fun to read, and most of them are pretty short. Even the longest (Leonardo) goes quickly."
Here is what Bill Gates recommends you read this summer.
