It has long been known that literature can expand human horizons and abilities within imagination and horizon. At the same time, reading can also have a relaxing effect, as you can live in another world far away from notifications, things you need to consider and everyday small and big problems. As a young student there can be a lot to gain if you read the right books in your spare time.

But what do you read? So put your study books and duties away for a while and let yourself be included in this guide where we give our bids on readable books for young people.

The new books released in the winter of 2019

A fucking man - Anders Haahr Rasmussen - About new time, #metoo and being a man in 2019

All I know about love - Dolly Alderton - about the stages of adulthood in progress and adversity

Another person, another life - Sofie Jama. - to escape from Somalia to Roskilde and find his right place in life

The Idiot - Elif Batuman - About to start at Harvard University, while everything else in the beginning adult life draws in one

Two of last year's favorites in the literature you as a young student should read

• The one who lives quietly : A book about finding his way and not me himself, despite parents who do not back up and support in one's youth and adult life.

Leonora Christina Skov has just won the Golden Laurels in February 2019 for this novel, every young person should read.

• One life, one time, one person : A good book for students on their way to the labor market

Businessman Morten Albæk published the book One Life, One Time, One Man , a book that gives a lot of thought for thought last year - and should be read by everyone in the labor market or students well on their way to their new job.

The book focuses on the Danish paradox, where prosperity is great and the possibilities many, but to the same extent are the diagnoses within stress, anxiety and depression.

How do you get a meaningful life with room for work, leisure, love and friendships? And what balance should you choose? Read this book if you want to be challenged in your thinking and will create the best possible starting point for your overall work and private life.

Take a local and literary inspiration tour
