Martin Lewis<\/a> has shared his favourite book and it\u2019s a popular title many are familiar with. The well-known financial expert<\/a> and founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, is known for his advice on money matters and helping people make informed decisions.<\/p>\n

But beyond his financial knowledge, Martin<\/a> has spoken about his love for the fantasy genre and once named Game of Thrones as one of his favourite reads. Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin<\/a> is a book that became even more popular after it was adapted into a hit television series. Despite being set in a fantastical world filled with dragons, magic, and ancient lore, the novel is rooted in human behaviour – greed, ambition, loyalty and betrayal.<\/p>\n

Martin Lewis<\/a>\u2019s appreciation for the novel shows that even the most rational minds can enjoy stories of fiction.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC<\/a>, Martin Lewis<\/a> said: \u201cMost of my reading tends to be escapism – I like historic novels or science fantasy.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it isn\u2019t my favourite science fantasy novel but it is the biggest.<\/p>\n

“So, I\u2019ve never actually watched the programmes but if I\u2019m allowed the complete collection of Game of Thrones – it\u2019s 5000 pages, it\u2019s in the right genre and I think it’s one of those series you could re-read a few times and just take up a bit of time with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The journalist shared the insight on BBC<\/a>\u2019s Desert Island Discs in which he shared some of his favourite songs and other information about his life.<\/p>\n

Martin<\/a> grew up in Cheshire and studied at the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n

After a brief spell working in financial PR, he took a postgraduate course in broadcast journalism with the aim of becoming a commentator on money matters, and he initially worked as a producer and presenter on radio and TV.<\/p>\n

Today, he has become a well-known household name for his financial advice<\/a> which has helped many Brits to save money and to understand their finances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin Lewis has shared his favourite book and it\u2019s a popular title many are familiar with.
