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.

I don't have any suggestion off-hand, but I understand your request and actually have been reading so much less the past couple years just to avoid the heightened emotional tones that seem so pervasive. I want to read to learn and understand but I don't need calls to action or tugs on my heartstrings or the sort of smug outrage and moralism that is everywhere -- those come from all the rest of life.
Yes, exactly. Nonfiction can sometimes scratch that itch for me, but it's not exactly what I want either.
