Books will take you to worlds you could never have dreamed up on your own.
Travel books will show you wonderful sights from every country.
Mystery books will entrap you for days in exciting adventures.
Novels will touch on all facets of human existence, both teaching and treating you to hours of interest, education, history, psychology, and entertainment.
Children's book will delight you.
Just open any Robert Munsch book - like 'Good Families Don't'.
Books make you laugh, love, cry a little, die a little, and stimulate the imagination and the erge to travel and meet new people(s), eat new food(s).
