A Man Called Ove

Fredrik Backman

Grief, stubbornness and community. Warm and funny, and quietly about a man who cannot ask for help.

Reference

The Midnight Library

Matt Haig

Regret and the lives not lived. Directly relevant to a fear of "not achieving everything," and light enough to read in two sittings.

ReferenceS

Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir

Pure engineer joy. Problem-solving as a page-turner. Read when I need to remember that thinking is fun.
