Ask HN: What is your comfort book?

the whole Dune series

Dune by Frank Herbert (only the first book, dislike the rest of the series)

For me it is Zodiac, Snow Crash and Diamond Age.

it also helps reset mindset.

Meditations, Marcus Aurelius

Douglas Adams "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". I think I've read it 4 times the last 7 years, which may not be that often, but it definitely has a special place in my heart.

Feynman: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! - great inspiration for regaining playfulness.

Neuromancer by William Gibson

Genesis chapter 1

I was wondering how comforting reading The Bible (as a cultural catholic) could be

The Bible

1984

Tolkien (LOTR)

LOTR series

Thirdly - Discworld. I guess it does not need comment, does it?

the entire series at least two times

I've read them all multiple times, and go back to them again and again.

Pratchett discworld series. Started when I was young and I still enjoy rereading them all, still spot some new things in them now and again too.

Asimov's Foundation series. I find a story spanning centuries, different eras and characters to be deeply calming; there's a strange sense of purpose and meaningfullness when you consider events in a historic perspective.
