We all know the importance of reading books.So, here is a list of  books that you must read once. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green  - It has everything a good book should have, the characters are really strong, and there is tragedy, twist, and love between two cancer patients.

Knowing about Gambling addiction was fun!! Shopping Addiction is urge to spend more and more money and buy everything whether you need it or not. The addiction is also known as compulsive shopping or compulsive buying disorder. When we come across the term shopping it right away indicates women shopping but it affects men and women equally.

Knowledge here plays a significant role. If we have adequate knowledge on a particular subject we can apply it suitably while imagining.
