+<h1>Novels</h1>
+<p>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.</p>
+<p>Some were read as paperback, others as eBooks. A very few were listened to (Audio book).</p>

+<h1>Formal education</h1>
 <p>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.</p>
 <p>However, I still believe a degree in Computer Science helps to understand all the theories involved that you would have never learned otherwise. Isn't it cool to understand how compilers work under the hood (automata theory) even if you are not required to hack the compiler in your current position? You could apply the same theory for other things too. This was just *one* example.</p>
