what books do i read to make my life happier
Curious George
First you start off with simple fantasy books like Harry Potter or Narnia. They will teach you that fiction is filled with comfy worlds that will make you happy.
After that you go to more mature stuff like Game of Thrones or the Dune series. They will teach you that stories don't have to be cozy and fun, but they can still provide you with real world lessons about politics and history.
After that you can finally move onto "big boy literature," like Shakespeare and Homer. These works provide a mix of the two previous categories. They can be fun entertainment, in a more refined way, but when it isn't they also will teach you great lessons to help you live life better.
Just get some nice loose leaf tea, supplement vitamin D, and listen to In Our Time in your garden.
And read Lucretius.

The Hobbit did it for me. Until i had to murder my gf for refusing to read it.
The Zhuangzi
>Men of the world who value the Way all turn to books. But books are nothing more than words. Words have value; what is of value in words is meaning. Meaning has something it is pursuing, but the thing that it is pursuing cannot be put into words and handed down. The world values words and hands down books but, though the world values them, I do not think them worth valuing. What the world takes to be values is not real value.
