Nonfiction. Nonfiction… Now, I don’t have personal experience with a lot of these, but they look like things I’d get a kick out of reading, so here goes a small list for you.
* Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, by Jenny Lawson
* What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions, by Randall Munroe
* In a Sunburned Country, by Bill Bryson
* Me Talk Pretty One Day, by David Sedaris
* You Can’t Touch My Hair, by Phoebe Robinson

David Sedaris. Hilarious memoirs by a guy with his own obsessive challenges.

I was recently fascinated by The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, by Leonard Mlodinow. To me it’s really important / helpful to recognize how much of the world is legitimately outside our control. It helps us pin down in what ways we CAN actually respond to it.
Also highly recommend How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis, for a potential shift in perspective about the nature and importance of care tasks (i.e. they are only important **because** they care for us, they have no inherent moral value).
