The summers are an excuse for many to hop out of their shell and try out new things. While some explore adventure sports, others hit the gym and bring out the fitness freak inside them. Similarly, some also spend the majority of their time being couch potatoes binge-watching their favourite shows and movies. While I am not against binge-watching as it may be my favourite thing to do during holidays, I cannot disagree about the fact that there are better ways to spend my downtime. Summers are the season of sun, sand, and leisurely afternoons. So, what’s better than getting lost in a good book? One can enjoy a book while lounging on the beach, relaxing by the pool, or just soaking up some rays in the park. Also, reading books is the only legal way to hallucinate in real life thus embarking on a journey with larger-than-life characters all while sitting in your comfort does not feel like a bad proposition. So, if you’re new to the reading game, here are some of the best books you can enjoy during the lazy and hazy days of summer - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy First on our list is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. This classic sci-fi novel follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent, an unwitting earthling who finds himself hurtling through space after his planet is destroyed to make way for an interstellar highway. Packed with absurd humour, wacky characters, and mind-bending plot twists, "The Hitchhiker's Guide" is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a light, quirky read to enjoy while basking in the summer sun. The Beach Next up, we have "The Beach" by Alex Garland. This gripping novel follows the journey of Richard, a young backpacker who sets out to find an idyllic beach paradise rumoured to be hidden somewhere in Thailand. As he and his fellow travellers navigate through dangerous jungles and treacherous waters, they begin to realize that the beach may not be the paradise they'd hoped for. Filled with stunning imagery and a sense of adventure that will keep you on the edge of your beach towel, "The Beach" is the ultimate summer read for anyone looking for a thrilling escape. The Alchemist For those looking for something a bit more contemplative, we recommend "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.

"Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah Next up, we have "Born a Crime" by Trevor Noah. This memoir by the host of "The Daily Show" tells the story of Noah's childhood growing up in apartheid-era South Africa.
