What author always soothes you? For me it's Alasdair MacIntyre or Aristotle. If I want reason,...

Stephen King, honest to god. It's a nostalgia thing- my dad always had his books around, and I was reading them at 8 yrs old, so they're comforting to me.

So much "batshit" (as you call it.....😀) around. Yes, sometimes when my mind/heart grows weary there are many books I can turn to, to get back in touch with other mind/hearts that seem to have [i]cared[/i] about things. Seem to soak it up like a sponge.
