A good book can transport you anywhere:  it can take you back in time,  halfway around the world or simply change your ideas.

In fiction, you can immerse yourself in new situations with new characters. This is a great way to relax and unwind, taking yourself our of your circumstances and putting yourself in new ones.

Are you a crime buff? Wanting to solve mysteries and track down baddies alongside the characters?  Or, do you prefer to explore other solar systems in Science Fiction or Fantasy novels, imagining what it would be like to live there?  Perhaps it's a Romance novel that you want to indulge in.

Don't forget non-fiction!  Whether you're a student required to read for a course or you just want to expand  your mind, nonfiction books allow you a view into great minds, historical times and theories. Want something more down-to-earth? There are plenty of practical guides, manuals and how to books--go on, teach yourself something new.
