Since the question is in the section “Philosophy”, then, of course, it is worth taking” Fragments of early Greek Philosophers ” and reading the ancient philosopher Heraclitus. After all, Heraclitus taught that the world came from fire, that “this cosmos, the one of all, was not created by any of the gods or any of the mortals, but always was, is, and will always be a living fire.”
Philosophy warms you up!
I don't know anything about philosophy. 🙂
But a cool, upbeat book for all weathers is Heinlein's The Door to Summer. And in bad weather, you should definitely read it. Although it's not about summer at all.
Belyanin and Gromyko can be read or Tolkien. Lem, Asimov, Garrison, Zelazny, etc. Old Slavonic or Hindu Vedas, Norse mythology (There is an amazing book “Eric is the son of man”, although it is a child's book.). In general, almost any fantasy or SF and “pre-Christian” religious literature. (I think they share a common mood, epic heroism and the fight between good and evil.)
In general, you need to read what you like, I listed it so that I read (more precisely, what I read or reread recently, although I'm just planning to read the chronicles of Amber), everything tastes and colors here, not everyone likes fantasy and SF, someone likes detective stories and adventures. Well, there are a lot of cool writers, choose any one: Chase, Scott, London, Hemingway, Melville, Haley, thousands of them.
Here are more names: The Witcher (Sapkovsky), Steppenwolf and Siddartha (Hesse), Moscow and Muscovites (Gilyarovsky), Legends of the Arbat and Legends of Nevsky Prospekt (Weller), Shogun and King of Rats (Clavell), you can list for a very long time, choose according to your liking.
And one last thing. what I want to add (although I still want to remember cool books and list them ad infinitum), read on paper. Do not spare the money and buy a few books, after all, they do not lie about their atmosphere.
On a whim, Ray Bradbury's autobiographical trilogy will come in handy at this time of year. It includes the novel “Dandelion Wine”, the novella “Summer Goodbye!” and the collection of short stories “Summer Morning, Summer Night”.
