    The world is a terrible place and I can’t handle reading anything serious or sad. Anyone have an engaging book to recommend where I’ll likely laugh, people will be happy and fall in love and no one dies?

    1. When I asked my librarian for a recommendation coming from the same place as you she showed me

      Iona Iverson’s Rules For Commuting

      It’s a light book. The world is too heavy right now. It hit the spot.

    2. Anything by Bill Bryson or Mary Roach. You will laugh and be happy and learn fun facts!

      Also I feel you, friend. It’s hard out here and you aren’t alone. ♥️

      The Importance of Being Earnest is very funny, and although the characters get themselves into silly situations, nobody actually gets hurt. While I can think of lots of other books/plays that have happy endings and optimistic messages despite a tragic plot, this is the only one I can think of that really has nothing serious/sad in it. It’s just pure goofiness.

      I read a lot of Christopher Moore last round. Funny, fun characters, lots of research about settings. Known mostly for *Lamb* but they’re all entertaining
