Hello everyone,
Due to some family emergencies, I'm looking for some books that you can enjoy while turning your brain off so that I can escape for a while.
For me it's like watching an fun action or monster movie, sure there are some deeper meanings to it but you can enjoy the actions on the surface level as well. I think they are called pop corn flick? I'd say some examples are movies like Pacific Rim, Battleship, Armageddon, early Marvels like Iron Man, Jurassic Park, Godzilla movies, or even Train to Busan.
I usually enjoy horror, monster, crime and science fiction genre for books. The books that I really enjoyed that I could say fit my request are Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, All Systems Red by Martha Wells, Starter Villain by John Scalzi, or Parasite by Darcy Coates.
Hopefully my request makes sense. Apologies for any mistake in spelling or grammar, English is not my first language.
Thank you in advance!

Silo series by Hugh Howey, starting with the first book Wool. Starship Troopers by Robert R. Heinlein as well, or even some Stephen King are good brain off books like Misery or Carrie. First Blood the novel the Rambo movies were based on.
Dungeon Crawler Carl could be a good option, though they get more complicated/emotionally heavy as they go.
