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.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

    Not exactly what you’re looking for, but it came straight to mind. There’s conflict, but it’s primarily internal. The vibe I remember is reminiscent of your description.

    Sometimes one needs to sit at the bottom of a well.

      Ya not sure it’s what I need at the moment, but it looks very interesting and I’ve added it to my to read list.
