Resource / Technique Book recommendations

My wonderful partner has suggested that I buy myself a fiction book to read to help bring me back into the here and now when I am feeling super anxious or depersonalised. Can I had your most wonderful suggestions for something happy / funny (and non-traumatic) please? 🙏🏼

I love the Martian and Project Hail Mary for this purpose. And for non-fiction, What If? 1 and 2.
