I have been a devotee of Reader's Digest for over three years. Readers Digest has been my sole guide and motivation during my grade 12th examination. I didn't have time to read long novels, but the short stories in this little magazine were enough to satisfy the reader in me. I like how the editors bring out the major incidents happening in the world in such a simple and beautiful way.

Loved this book. Very insightful with a comedic twist on daily every day stuff that happens to all of us and it pretty much tells it like it is and that how you dealt with the common issue is the same way others would. Basically lets you know you are not crazy, not clueless, never humble enough and well we are just normal.
