I'm finishing the Stormlight Archive series right now and I think I need something with a bit less of the murder / war / violence aspect that many fantasy books have.

Does anyone know some (not necessarily fantasy) fiction books that are less 'depressing' and are easy to read?

I can highly recommend Doors of Sleep: Journals of Zaxony Delatree by Tim Pratt. Imagine waking up in a different reality every time you fall asleep. No choice, no control, just a kaleidoscope of alien landscapes, bizarre societies, and endless possibilities. It's a feel good adventure that's full of humor, heart, quirky characters, and creative world building.
