Illuminatus Trilogy

City by Clifford D Simak

>>8001649
Hmm...
First time I read it as 3 separate paperbacks. Have it in hardback in storage somewhere. Have read it 4 times in the last 35 years. Certainly is "comfy".
- 23 big rhinoceroses.

Try the sequel, Schrodenger's Cat. Not as comfy, but still good.

>>8001421
I found Tortilla Flat to be even comfier

>>8001385
For sure

I also find Orwell's journalism to be comfy as fuck. Even though Road to Wigan Pier & Down and Out in Paris and London are books about poverty, Orwell is really good at making working in a shitty French kitchen or sleeping in a Yorkshire boarding house sound comfy

>>8001648
I thought this was a series?

>>8001408
It's honestly not something I'd recommend from Durrell. It's fragmentary nature doesn't make for a comfy reading experience. Read his other books on Cyprus and Rhodes.

>>8001648
Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.
("What does 'under the name' mean?" asked Christopher Robin.
"It means he had the name over the door in gold letter, and lived under it.")

It was a manga, and comfy is correlated to nostalgia instantly, so any critic to this shit is invalid.

>>8001317
The Hobbit.
Immersive, simple and easy to read.
Cool mythos, fun characters.

>>8002400
I only started reading this about 3 years ago, but it's so damn comfy, I love it.

>>8001317
is this a /lit/ forced meme? what do you even mean by comfy, fuck you guys.

>>8004210
I think this "I don't know what comfy means" thing is a meme.
It's just like if I said a book was funny you would expect to feel amused.
If a book is comfy, it makes you feel comfortable.

The Sorrows of Young Werther is pretty comfy.

As I walked out one mid summer morning

>>8004210
this. i fucking rage when i see a book described as 'comfy'. the word comfortable pertains to physical repose

>>8004272
When a book is comfy, you are able to get comfortable and smoothly read. You aren't disturbed by what you are reading, you aren't made sad by it, you are just smoothly reading and feeling comfortable.

>It's fragmentary nature doesn't make for a comfy reading experience

That's one of the reasons I liked it so much. Its fragmentary nature (it's a travel diary) allows the reader to pick it up and leave it whenever without a plot to remember. This is post of what I mean by comfy. It's the perfect bedtime book, in winter as well as summer.

>>8005186

I like reading Spice & Wolf series inbetween other works. Easy to digest, good character chemistry and has a nice pastoral medieval feeling to it. Also every book is only two sittings at max to get through.

The great gatsby was pretty comfy desu.

>>8005349
Definitely, but YKK doesn't have the nostalgia for me yet. Probably in a few years

>>8005349
YKK is comfy as fuck.

>>8004301
You really are correct, I, on chapter 13 or so and it's really good. I feel like I'm reading it at the perfect time, as a first year in college

>>8001317
Until now I would say, "The guide to the good life" by William Irvine, at least the 3/4 portion of the book.

The Peregrine

Redwall, without a fucking doubt.

Taggerung is still my favourite.

MY FUCKING DIARY

>>8005842
Awful lot of homoeroticism in that one, tho

Just page after page of homoerotic lust

>>8001317
there was a pillow that had some words on it. that was probably comfier than any book

The Magic Mountain, definitely.

>>8001317
Little Prince

>>8001342
Hyperion Cantos is a great series but "comfy" doesn't fit the adjectives that I would associate it with.

>>8001317
The Road

>>8005044
Wait, what? The movie was based off a book?

East of Eden

>>8001317
A lot of these answers are confusing me. I guess I don't know what you guys mean by comfy.

The comfiest books for me are Wodehouse's novels, Growth of the Soil, and In Search of Lost Time.

>>8001317
>neighborhood lacking trees
>comfy

Naive. Super by Erlend Loe
The Magic Mountain was comfy af

This one about incest between a dad and his son.

It was just erotica.

American Psycho. It had a lot about clothes. Clothes are comfy.
