With summer fast approaching8+ adult movies - watch free full movies and download 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.
SEE ALSO: Here's what happened when Trump asked Bill Gates to be his science advisor"When I pulled together this list of five that you might enjoy this summer, I realized that several of my choices wrestle with big questions," Gates wrote in a blog post. "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.

George Saunders
Lincoln in the Bardo is famed short story writer George Saunders' first novel and it's stunning from the start. Mixing historical accounts with fiction, the book follows Lincoln and his son Willie after Willie dies. The book then juggles Lincoln's own grief with an unforgettable story about what happens in the Bardo, a purgatory of sorts that comes after death, as a collection of ghosts struggle to save their own souls as well as Willie's.
