It's better to mention some kind of business-oriented book although don't hesitate to talk about your interests outside of the office. Avoid controversial topics involving religion or politics, just because you don't want to offend the interviewer on a personal note and lose your chances at the position.

My comment to this editor is that this will help everyone from 13 and up because in my opinion,I think that teens should learn how to answer questions for later in their lifetime because it will help them succeed.
