8 great books to keep your mind busy

There is nothing quite like reading a good book to help you relax after a long day. Once you open the cover, or turn on the e-reader, and start reading you are transported to other worlds, a different time or learn about subjects that interest you. What ever genre of book you like it is always a great way to break the daily doldrums.

Reading also offers some benefits for your everyday life. By keeping your brain active it helps with your cognitive skills needed for all aspects of life. A good book can also be beneficial to your health by lowering your stress level.
