    Basically the title. I'm flying soon and to say I'm stressed…… is an understatement. I need the book version of a comfortable blanket, where I can just disappear. The thicker the book, the better, because I just can't sleep inside an airplane.

    Loved Vera Wong, the goblin emperor and a long way to a small angry planet. Currently at the last book of murderbot, but murderbot also gives me a bit of anxiety. I love slice of life, fantasy, sci fi, investigative non fiction books (bad blood and the likes), maybe even romance if it's focused less on panting and more focused on world building. A friend recommended project hail Mary but Idk if it will end up making me more stressed or not.

    What should I read?

    Thank you in advance!

    1. Old Man’s War is a phenomenal series

      Bobiverse series

      Shogun is nice and long, but I actually prefer Tai Pan

      If you liked Murderbot, maybe try We are Legion/We are Bob. There are a handful of Bobiverse books and they are chill and fun. Project Hail Mary is great, no too stressful. I’d recommend SevenEves but there are some very tense parts.

      Fun Fact: it takes approximately 15 hours to fly from the west coast of the united states to Christchurch, New Zealand.

      Pachinko is amazing. The writing, the storytelling, the characters, the symbolism, it’s got it all.

    4. Foucault’s Pendulum by Umberto Eco, The Complete Cosmicomics by Italo Calvino, Miss Macintosh, My Darling by Marguerite Young, In Pursuit of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
