What author always soothes you?

For me it's Alasdair MacIntyre or Aristotle. If I want reason, I want one of them. Most of the world is batshit, but when I open MacIntyre or Aristotle's work, my field of vision is encompassed by sane and truthful. Temporarily, I am relieved of superstitious, selfish, erratic, and insane. I'm rereading Aristotle's [i]Physics[/i] for the first time since university.

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.

@DearAmbellina2113 When I bathe my wife in the morning, we YouTube short stories he wrote in the 1960s. They're reeeeeally good.
