Basically the title… all books are about cults and murders… but my brother (strangely enough) wants to read something light…
Please suggest a book, my pinterest is filled with philosophy classics, idk any happy story books.
I still don't understand why?
He says "why would I wanna read about things that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy"
Which is fine, he doesnt wanna imagine criminal scenarios in his free time but then why do I?
Why do I love losing all sense of self by reading plato and Marcus, and begin to see only the negative sides of thing by reading Sylvia plath and osamu dazai, be a "don't talk to her or she'll ruin you day" level of activist by reading mark and george orwell, and just question everything all the time from aristotle, albert camus, franz kafka, nietzsche, xenophobe, dostoevsky, emrata..
Like is my brother normal or am I?

{{Watership down}} is a light captivating bright story book about rabbits trying to find a new home. Surprisingly touching despite the plot.

Guards! Guards!
Both by Sir Terry Pratchett are FUNNY light and relatively short. His books also have a fair number of profound quotes too.
