I like to spend my free time reading and listening to music. I can read about anything, but my two favorite books ever are "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie, and "The Peter Principle" by Lawrence J. Peter. Those two books, in different ways, opened my eyes to a world i did not know. As far as music is concerned, I like almost any kind of music, but i prefer classical music, my favorite being "Swan Lake". I also like "Madame Butterfly" and "Tosca". My favorite singers are Pavarotti and Sarah Brightman. Surprisingly enough, I also like sports. In my youth, I played basketball, baseball, table tennis and many other sports. I was particularly good at high jump, but was unable to pursue it any further because I never grew above five foot nine.
