The world is crap right now, and I want some suggestions of escapest novels that leave you with good feelings and really happy that you have read them.
The girl who saved the king of Sweden – Jonas Jonasson. It’s my go-to feelgood book

My gold standard is Catch 22 by Joseph
Heller. It’s incredibly funny, in a farcical kind of way, dark humor a bit like in the film Dr Strangelove.

Read any of the Dune series or Outlander series. Loved Watership Down series.

Any book by Sir Terry Pratchett, though if you want a specific suggestion; Nation. The man was a wizard with words and I can’t help but smile reading them.
For feel good vibes, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet an its sequels by Becky Chambers are great cozy sci fi books.
And if you maybe want to see the best in the world they Humankind by Rutger Bregman.
