    I want to read a book where the main character is a kind, warm, compassionate human being.

    The best example I can think of is Dr Tenma from "Monster". His small acts of kindness restore my faith in humanity.

    1. A Gentleman in Moscow is a good book with a very kind, sweet protagonist.

      {{A Psalm for the Wild-Built” by Becky Chambers}} is about a tea monk who’s trying to find themselves and befriends a robot. Both characters are very lovely beings. Warm, cozy story.

      A surprising title for what you asked for, but try 2 Necromancers, A Bureaucrate, and an Elf by L.G. Estrella. Timmy is an awesome human being.

      East of Eden…Mostly the character Samuel, but Adam trask is also a kind man. A bit naive maybe 🙂

      Any of Fannie Flagg’s books. The All Girl’s Filling Station’s Last Reunion is probably her “best” and A Redbird Christmas is the simplest, but my favorite.

      A Boy of Good Breeding by Miriam Toewes. It’s about an eccentric little Canadian town and there isn’t a mean person anywhere to be found.

      The Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith, for sure

      The All Creatures Great and Small series by James Herriott

    7. Piranesi, The Goblin Emperor(the spin offs even more maybe), and The Hands of The Emperor all leap to mind for me

      Leonard and Hungry Paul, a book where almost nothing happens but you grow to really love some overlooked characters.
      Also there were some great kind characters in Heaven and Earth Grocery Store.

      Most of Murakami’s books: Norwegian Wood, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, Kafka on the Shore, etc
