Looking for books that are the equivalent of a long walk in a forest, listening to lo-fi beats, or one of those adult coloring books
If that even makes sense. Perhaps I'm wishing for a book that doesn't or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It's ok if it's deep and thought provoking, but doesn't have to be. It should not have conflict.
When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.
I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I've struggled to enjoy.
I’m currently reading Orbital by Samantha Harvey—it’s a meditative, conflict-free novel following the inner thoughts of six astronauts during a routine day aboard the ISS, as they watch the world turning under them and contemplate humanity.
