An outstanding book is a puzzle to solve. It takes us to places we've never been before, provides us a glimpse into the minds of scholars, and allows us to experience and see things without ever leaving our homes. People of all ages and areas of life are stimulated by books. This is most likely why senior reading groups are so popular in retirement homes. It is also known to reduce stress and improve cognitive function.
Let us help you narrow down your reading options if you're considering that as well.
BECOMING MICHELLE OBAMA
Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most famous and captivating women of our time, with a life filled with meaning and success. She helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history as First Lady of the United States of America, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the United States and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing by her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments.
SEARCHING FOR SYLVIE LEE
From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Translation comes a poignant and suspenseful drama that unravels the complicated ties that bind three women in one Chinese immigrant family—two sisters and their mother—and explores what happens when the eldest daughter vanishes, revealing a series of family secrets.
ANIMAL FARM
A farm is taken over by the animals that have been overworked and abused. They set out to construct a utopia of development, justice, and equality, fueled by fiery idealism and passionate rhetoric. As a result, the stage is set for one of the most revealing satiric tales ever written – a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that charts the progression from revolt against tyranny to a dictatorship that is just as bad.
Animal Farm was written with Stalinist Russia in mind when it was initially released. The piercing clarity and vicious hilarity of George Orwell's masterwork have a meaning and message that is today brutally fresh wherever and whenever freedom is assailed, under whatever banner.

The national bestseller Rules for Aging, by New York Times bestselling author and beloved prize-winning essayist Roger Rosenblatt, is a smart and funny handbook to the joys and tribulations of becoming older, and was named one of USA Today's Best Self-Help Books of the Year.
Rosenblatt presents here suggestions for aging that are both easy to grasp and, more significantly, easy to execute, with a sardonic sense of humor and incomparable wit.
This is a book to relish, a book to treasure, and a book for people of all ages. This handy handbook is for anyone who wants to age gracefully or at all.
