Couldn't agree with this more. For me Bryson is the pinnacle of comfortable, informative reading. I find him very easy to listen to so the audiobooks he narrates may be fitting for OP as well.

It's wild how the grip switch and pause before letting go really sell the intentional look. Slow it up a bit and this feels like pacing for an animated film.
Brian Lagerstrom shows a method using a sheet pan and your oven's broiler in this video (the linked time has the prep, 11:23 for the results) if you want to try something other than the usual stove-top browning. It's worked well for me, especially when I don't want to babysit a pan.

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUUUUUUP!
It's a book written in the 1960s that was one of my favorites as a kid. It's been adapted into a couple of films, the most recent being in the early 90s. Essentially the story of two dogs and a cat that can talk to each other traversing the Canadian wilderness to find their humans.

1961 book, The Incredible Journey
I can't tell if this is a reference to The Incredible Journey or if you haven't read/seen it.
This is it for me. I like that a multiplayer world is something dynamic I'm a part of even when I'm not interacting with it directly.

The real pro tip is always in the comments
I recently started I Want A Better Catastrophe by Andrew Boyd. It's good, but it's rough and I can only read so much at a time which caused me to look for a humorous non-fiction title as a mental palate cleanser. For that I landed on The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred, The Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes; which, in contrast, has been a lot of fun.
