I'd suggest the 'trilogy' of 5 books of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy":

- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
- Life, the Universe and Everything
- So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
- Mostly Harmless

In that order.

I could link you the books in txt-files, if necessary. 😜

Seeing you like to read, I do be slightly expecting you to already having read these, but in case you didn't: You should! 😅

Hmm, thank you for the reply!
I did read the first book and part of the second some years ago, but that kind of humor didn't really do anything for me at the time.
I might give it another shot.

Making your inner reading voice read the books in the tone and voice of Stephen Fry does help though.

There's a solid reason that both the reader of the official audiobooks, as also the narrator of the last movie adaptation, is (you guessed it...) Stephen Fry. 😅

I like it when writers explore the concept of immortality. Addie and her relationships are very interesting and it was honestly a hard book to put down.

Around the same time I read this I also read the short story A Short Stay In Hell by Steven L. Peck. Another interesting take on living forever, isolation, and what that does to a person.
