Here I collect some interesting bibliography in physics, that I have enjoyed reading, or I am reading in this moment. A lot of them are missing to the list, I will update it from time to time. Hope this inspires you some nice readings! Photonics and Electromagnetics A book with which I am deeply in love and have followed me for many years is Someda, Carlo G. Electromagnetic Waves. 2nd ed.
