Each book it is another world, a world with its own secrets and its own standards. I always believe that a book can be better company than a person, as it absorbs you and you become a “shareholder” in another environment – which gives you security. On the occasion of World Book Day, we have chosen five books that we believe every man he must have read in his life, as they will be able to open his horizons. Take a look at the list and we hope you tick our picks.
