| Sh*t Actually by Lindy West made me laugh very, very hard. It’s about blockbuster movies from the 1990s/early 2000s and it is really funny. |

Ohh this is a good one. And I second romance novels, both the OG ones PP mentioned like pride and prejudice and modern day sexier and less thought-provoking ones, like Tessa Dare’s stuff. Tessa Dare is hilarious. |

| What do you mean by happy? Do you want to laugh? Do you want to feel good about humanity? Do you want to love the characters? Do you want fiction or nonfiction? Is angst ok if there is a happy ending? |

| Any of Bill Bryson's travel books. Double bonus of making you laugh and doing a bit of arm-chair traveling! |

I will take it all. OP here. Yesterday I opened up a news article and felt dreary and bleak about the world. Was looking to counter it; everything you said would apply. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. |
