+# Novels
+
+This site lists my favourite the novels I have read. I prefer to read them in German though. You will notice that these are mostly Science Fiction novels. Where possible, this page shows both, english (en) and german (de), titles.
+
+Some were read as paperback, others as eBooks. A very few were listened to (Audio book).

+# Formal education
I have met many self-taught IT professionals I highly respect. In my own opinion, a formal degree does not automatically qualify a person for a particular job. It is more about how you educate yourself further *after* formal education. The pragmatic way of thinking and getting things done do not require a college or university degree.
