Now that you’re staying home and working on your fitness, there’s something more that you can do. Give a workout to your mind. We have brought a list of must-read books for you during the quarantine.

Stanford University researchers have found that literary reading, in particular, gives your brain a workout in multiple complex cognitive functions. Pleasure reading, on the other hand, increases blood flow to different areas of the brain.

Quarantine has been hard as it has limited the activities, fun, and experiences. That said, it doesn’t mean the lockdown can limit the worlds we can explore in books.

Furthermore, quarantine time can be made fruitful. With the help of books, we can acquire physical and mental benefits that can last a lifetime. Reading strengthens your brain, increases your ability to empathize, reduces stress, and builds your vocabulary. It’s never too late to take advantage of the many benefits waiting for you in the pages of a good book.

Now the question arises which book should you read? From the sea of books waiting to be explored, we have found you the must-read list.

VCUAE along with Amazon has brought to you the best offers for the journey to the best stories.
