Books are great companions. They provide food for thought,
entertainment, humour, education and much more to anyone who befriends them. Seniors,
especially those who were voracious readers in their younger days, find that books are
their best companions, inspite of the varying entertainment provided by television and the
media.
We will be happy to receive mail from Seniors who wish to form book clubs. We shall place
their advts. Free of Cost in the Classifieds and on this page. They could also write about
the latest books on anything from fiction to philosophy, that they have read, which may be
of interest to the elderly. We shall try to include the titles and a short review on this
page. Please write to info@SeniorIndian.com |
