I’m right there with you. A beautifully written book that doesn’t remind me of dumpster fire that is my life right now.
Bonded beyond the veil! It teaches you a lot and it’s pretty easy to read. The author is Catte Coelho
The Magus by John Fowles had a huge impact on me when I read it for the first time at 23 or 24.
I don’t have any life altering perfect works to offer, but I do have a counter point. How about a 7 book series that’s essentially a guilty pleasure book? Something that’s batshit crazy, funny, and surprisingly emotional at some points?
I give you Dungeon Crawler Carl. Bonus points if you’re an audiobook reader, because Jeff Hayes is the fucking GOAT.
When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron
You might also enjoy a survival story like Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Those men had everything every right to think it was all over for them, but through sheer grit and determination, they made it through to the other side. It’s a true story of going through the shit and prevailing. Totally amazing.
The Daodejing and the Zhuangzi
Tiny beautiful things – uncomplicated, straightforward and thought provoking
I don’t know what you like to read, but some life affirming books ive loved are
The 100 years of Lenni and Margot by Mariann Cronin
Little Wing by Freya North
