"I often use "sunreturn" from Le Guin's Earthsea as the focus of my solstice cards."
Love it! I wish I knew people, er, I guess I now know someone who would do such a thing. :) (Ursula's my favorite!) I'd correspond with you. :) My mentor in the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids lives on a Scottish Island, and we write letters, too.
I've known of Moomins from a friend who is a fan, but I haven't read these yet. Guess I should start!
Apparently you can get things like Coelho's, "The Alchemist," in graphic novel form (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11732641-the-alchemist). So I might try getting a quick fix that way, and read the full book forms when I have more time and concentration for full books.
I also sample, or more like... do shots of all the relevant bits of non-fiction books through Blinkist. (https://www.blinkist.com/) At first the concept was almost offensive, but efficiency pleases me, and I've enjoyed using it, and make note of books I may want to fully read later.
And of course, there are always short stories, like The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, or anthologies. :)
