Books
Discover new and exciting worlds
Some things that are amazing about books.
Knowing when you go somewhere unfamiliar, walking into a bookstore
and/or library will feel like coming home. Small, thoughtful design
details that make each page a tiny work of art. The ability to identify
classics by their spines, from across a room or bookstore or library.
The soft rustling of pages moving back and forth. Inscriptions in used
books. How much a book can change and grow with you through your life.
How, when a book is laid flat, pages can curve into the shape of a
heart.
Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the
destination, and the journey.
They are home.
Anna Quindlen

non-fiction but they also have other benefits. They keep your brain
brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power, and can slow the
progress of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. They can reduce stress by allowing
you to focus on something else and allowing you to relax. They increase
your knowledge and vocabulary and, if you start reading crime or mystery
novels, your analytical thinking skills too.
