I'm ill in bed and have just discovered the pleasure of listening to Bill Bryson reading his own book, A Short History of Private Life. He has a very calm, soothing delivery, and the subject matter is interesting, yet not particularly exciting. And, because it's not a narrative, it doesn't matter if I doze off. I can just pick up again when I wake up. In fact, it is both helping me to sleep and keeping me contented when I can't sleep.

So I'm looking for more like this. A comfortable, soothing voice reading a comfortable, soothing book that won't be spoiled by me nodding off.

Am I asking for impossible recommendations?

Anything by Michael Pollan would suit what you want, my favorite of his is A Place of my Own but his food related books are also really good.

If you’re on Audible Stephen Fry did a series called Victorian Secrets that is free to subscribers
