(Audio)Books:
Since 2008 I borowed about 500 books from Olomouc Scientific Library on various topics. I read non-fiction, grafic novels, comics, classics and I well remember from my childhood The man who would be God about "Father of the Atomic Bomb" Robert Oppenheimer and Manhattan project. Till today I have set of Vaclav Havel books in Czech and English versions. I read slowly so I prefer audiobooks which I could listen in car or in job.
