A wonderfully original idea, perfectly executed

I had no idea what to expect when I picked this up. But, with a title like Really Boring Books, I had to try it out and see what was in store. I was quite surprised by the vividness of the scenes and the writing in general. I was hooked right away, with the first chapter dedicated to a day in the life of a tumbleweed. Another about an empty mine. The story is about ordinary things, with the purpose of getting you to go to sleep. A wonderfully original idea, perfectly executed.

Hilariously Boring – In the Best Way Possible!

If you love dry humor and intentionally dull storytelling, this book is an absolute masterpiece. The author brilliantly captures the most uneventful aspects of frontier life, turning mundane details into an oddly captivating experience. The commitment to being "boring" is so well-executed that it becomes entertaining in its own right. I found myself chuckling at the overly detailed descriptions of fence building and the excruciatingly slow pace of small-town life. It's the perfect book to unwind with—whether you want to appreciate the satire or need the ultimate sleep aid. Highly recommend for fans of unique, offbeat humor!

A Note from Gene Eric Nomen

Hi there,

I’ve always struggled with falling asleep. My mind would race, replaying the day’s events or planning for tomorrow. I tried reading non-fiction before bed, thinking it would be dull enough to put me to sleep. But instead, I found myself getting too engaged, learning new facts that kept my brain buzzing. Then, I switched to regular fiction, only to get caught up in exciting plots and cliffhangers that made me stay up even later.

That’s when I realized what I really needed—a book that was just interesting enough to hold my attention, but soothing and uneventful enough to let my mind relax. A book that was deliberately dull and beautifully boring.

That’s how Really Boring Books was born. These stories are designed to be wonderfully predictable, calming, and yes—delightfully dull. My hope is that they help you quiet your mind, relax, and drift off into a peaceful slumber, just as they’ve done for me.

Sweet dreams,
Gene Eric Nomen
