3) Microsoft CEO (Former) - Bill Gates

Bill Gates is the former CEO of Microsoft. His favourite book is ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J.D. Salinger. A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion, alienation, angst and confusion. Gates quotes, "I didn't actually read Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I've said that's my favorite book." He further said, "It's very clever. It acknowledges that young people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don't really see. So I've always loved it."
