Books are a man’s best friend as they always help us in the journey of life in some way or the other. Books reduce stress, transport us to another world, and distract us from the present moment.

Books are like therapists. So, just like how you’d spend a hefty sum on a therapist, why not books?

These five books are for people who have just started reading…

Ruskin Bond is my personal favorite. He is one of those writers who can make you fall in love with books. His writing will inspire you to read more as his books are addictive.
