Looking for books that are the equivalent of a long walk in a forest, listening to lo-fi beats, or one of those adult coloring books (lemmy.world)

If that even makes sense. Perhaps I'm wishing for a book that doesn't or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It's ok if it's deep and thought provoking, but doesn't have to be. It should not have conflict.

When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.

I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I've struggled to enjoy.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers might satisfy that itch. It's not for everyone because it's more of an "ideas driven" story, but I found it to be a very cozy read.

It's sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. Just moved it to the top of my Bookwyrm reading queue.
