I want to take a break from crime and punishment and read something beautiful. I have a cold right now and reading this grimdark shit really makes it flare up. Does anyone have any suggestions of something beautiful and poetic, preferably a novel that I could read?

But Dosto is beautiful

It's very grim. I don't find soul crushing poverty all that beautiful. I don't dislike the book, I'll read it more when I don't have a cold.
>>
>>8929256
If you have a cold and want to read something comfy, then read Steinbeck's "Cannery Row"

Hi Butterfly. What's it about?

in watermelon sugar
>>
>>8931509
Coming of age travelogue through Aurelius' Rome with plenty of philosophical musing and the authors own translation of the myth of Psyche and Cupid. It's a dreamy picturesque book.
>>
>>8929256
Take a break from the fiction and grab a self-help book or a business or psychology. There's tons of non-fiction that's extremely educational hurt. Personally I like to grab the biggest academic educational works of History the last one being Wealth of Nations

>>8931525
Fuck non fiction. I couldn't think of a more boring way to spend my time.
>>
>>8929256
Read some Emily Dickinson desu
>>
>>8931508
This. Its full of soul-uplifting poverty and goofy crimes, its the perfect companion piece

>>
>>8933573
Also the hero wanders the streets, wracked by a moral dilemma. Im gonna re-read it too, it takes like 3 hours tops.

Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre
>>
>>8933608
Holy fuck, Doc is redeemed by his love for a prostitute, is there no end to Steinbeck's plagiary.
>>
>>8931508
