I love literature as much as the next person but sometimes I want to just shut my brain off and immerse myself in a simple engaging story. Any suggestions?

I only just heard about Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. I'm usually a bit snobbish in my tastes, but so far I love it. It's fun, not stupid at all, and the style is miles above what I expected.
Reminds me of the Martian. Won't change the whole history of literature, but very well done.
I don't see how it can hold up over several volumes, and I hope I'm proved wrong. It's fun.
