But how does he relax?
A: The last book I read was The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. It won the Booker Prize in 2008.
A: The CD I am listening to right now is, Viva La Vida by Coldplay. I saw them perform on TV at the Grammys the other night and they put on a great show.
A: I have been fortunate to see many interesting places, but the one that really stands out for me is Pompeii in southern Italy, which I visited during my honeymoon last year. It was amazing to see a place that has been frozen in time for nearly 2,000 years. People back then were far more advanced than I had imagined and it was incredible to see first-hand the sophisticated infrastructure of a Roman town from that time.
