Overcoming existential angst and finding meaning in a possibly meaningless world
I am looking for books where characters must defy a pervasive sense of nihilism and find meaning and connection. Ultimately, I feel like what I’m looking for is something cozy and human that defies the chaos or the world.
Non-fiction, but try *Pilgrim at Tinker Creek* by Annie Dillard.

I haven’t even read it yet but when I was looking for something like that, a friend recommended me Small Gods by Terry Pratchet.. might be what you’re looking for
or alternatively, maybe a Michelle Moran book like Nefertiti

Definitely Harper Lee’s *To Kill a Mockingbird*.
