Books are good for the soul

“A book must be an ice-axe to break the seas frozen inside our soul.”  Franz Kafka

How can we not be busy these days? There are a multitude of tasks waiting for us to tackle, competing for our attention and oftentimes we end up confused about which to prioritize. Thus, it’s not a surprise that most of us are finding ways to be in contact with what really matters most in our lives. We take vacations or visit a friend, go for a walk or play a bit, and engage in other activities to give us that much needed break. Another diversion that’s very much good for the soul is reading books, and this is what I’ve been meaning to include in my daily schedule.

With the wide range of book genres available in the market these days, one can easily find himself something to read, from inspirational and self-help books to fiction and fantasy. The choices are too many especially when you browse over at Borders, an online resource for books, magazines, CDs, DVDs and other reading materials.

Audio books featured at Borders May 2009 highlights include bestsellers ‘Dreams from My Father’ by US President Barack Obama, ‘Secret’ by Rhonda Byrne and ‘White Tiger’ by Aravind Adiga. In the fiction category, Paolo Coelho fans can check out Borders as they feature this bestselling author’s books to mark the release of his latest novel ‘The Winner Stands Alone’.
