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?

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
