First, don't read any self-help book. Don't read any book on depression. And, don't read heavy literature - especially, don't read Blood Meridian or There are few good men, or works by Camus. (I do hope you read them some time in your life)
1. The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams (my favorite)
2. The entire Peanuts collection by Charles Schulz
3. Bill Bryson's Non-fiction works
4. The Dice Man by Luke Rheinhart (my favorite)
5. Books by Oliver Burkeman
6. Khushwant Singh's Joke collections (although you should be an Indian or Sikh, get some of the jokes)
7. The Road Less Traveled by M.Scott peck - this is a self-help book, but I found it very useful during tough times.
