One fine day I visited a book store just to pass the time. Guess what happened!It was an eye opener visit. I found books of all corners of life, where in multiple lives are also not sufficient to complete reading these books.
If I am sad, there are books on motivation like you can win by Shiv Khera, The secret, etc. There are books on autobiographies by great leaders like Late A P J Abdul Kalam, Late Gandhiji, etc to become equipped with lessons to life challenges.
There are numerous subjects covered like any language learning skills, varied cultures. The subjects are just limitless.
