Naive. Super by Erland Loe.
The story is narrated by a man in his mid-twenties who suddenly becomes disillusioned and confused by life and therefore quits university. The narrator becomes fascinated by both modern scientific theories of time and relativity (by reading a book by Paul Davies) and also by repetitive childish activities such as playing with wooden BRIO children's toys and repeatedly throwing a ball against a wall. In the end, the narrator visits his brother in New York City and returns to Norway with a renewed sense of meaning in life. It's a really upbeat postive book.

A little bit of Terry Pratchett always does wonders for me.

Oh God, I spent months reading it over and over, and laughing every time. Thank you for reminding me to buy it again.
