i'm reading Don Quijote and it's pretty comfy

>>7349779
Very comfy.

Personally, I like to read some old murder mysteries and drink tea during winter. Favorites are Chesterton's Father Brown Mysteries, Georges Simenon's Maigret series, and maybe even some Sherlock Holmes. If I'm feeling like revisiting my childhood, I'll read some of the old Tarzan books by Edgar Rice Burroughs or the Conan Chronicles.

Fighting Fantasy CYOAs
Norse Sagas
Moomin Books

>Not Elliott Smith

For me, the ultimate comfy books are:

Invisible Cities (by far the most comfy book I've ever read)

Far Tortuga (vastly underrated)

Moby-Dick

A Farewell to Arms (also Hemingway's short stories)

The Sun Also Rises

Anything by Steinbeck

>>7350441
Invisible Cities is so comfy, also Cosmicomics (especially the complete edition).

And second for Steinbeck. Just finished East of Eden. Sitting on a rainy day sipping coffee reading that book gives me good feels.

this desu senpai

I've been sick with the flu for five days and counting. I can't concentrate enough for reading something heavy, so I've been lying in bed eating tangerines and listening to Harry Potter audiobooks. Would be comfy if not for the fact that I'm constantly switching between shivering and sweating like a grognard.

My favorite teacher in high school gave it to me as a graduation gift as well. The comfiness is immeasurable.

Reading Malone Dies by lamploght at 3 in the morning with the wind howling against the walls of my apartment and the rain belting against the window while lying in NY cosy bed was immensely satisfying.

Fellowship of the Ring is the book I think of when it's cold outside.
