>Many of the history’s geniuses were, by nature or circumstance, often solitary. Beethoven, Beatrix Potter, Henry James, Wittgenstein, Kipling. In this book, acclaimed psychiatrist Dr Anthony Storr explores the psychological value of spending time alone. How can we reconnect with what matters to us outside of our social relationships? How can we find an emotional difference between being alone and being lonely?

>Insightful and inspiring, this is a book that can help us feel more comfortable spending time alone, and show how to use solitude to focus on our interests, values and creative energies beyond the social sphere.

All the Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe) and Patrick O'Brian novels, because you have time. They'll not only cheer you up but maybe even aid you into becoming a more likable person

You just haven't read him
Start with Puck of Pook's Hill then Rewards and Faeries; off-putting titles perhaps but sheer genius

You should at least read his novel Kim, anon. If you hate it then that'll give you full license to trash Kipling with some justice. He's not what you suppose.
In his capacity as a children's author -- The Jungle Books, Just so stories, et al. very few surpass him
