Books are amazing ! A book can either be educational, entertaining, a useful tool to hide or all of the above. Let's start with educational. We have our textbooks, our self help books and how to books. Depending on our mood, our interest or time availability, we can either love it or hate! But a book doesn't simply means study and learn. It can be of assistance. It could be a guide to certain places. We can find various books that can tell us what to expect in places that we are going to, planning to go to or dream to go to. And this doesn't even have to be your tour book types. It could be a Danielle Steel novel that describes Nice or Paris, France, or Rome or England or California. Or it could be the book titled "The Other Boleyn Girl", that could take you back in time of Henry the VIII. It could be a Tom Clancy book, that can take you a few decades back, and you can also immerse yourself as Jack Ryan, a guy who was in the wrong place at the right time. Thank heavens to Jack (!), bloodshed in Bogota, Columbia was kept to a minimum!
A book can also be good company. It entertains you as you take the train, the bus or whatever form of transportation you take (except driving your car) going to work. Not only that it's quiet and does your bidding, it can also be a helpful tool to avoid talking to people that you don't feel exchanging niceties with.
So, there you go! Pick a book. Learn, dream, laugh, cry or simply hide. Choose a book for whatever floats your boat.
