Comfy books

My Antonia by Willa Cather
Shane by Jack Schaefer
Kim by Kipling

The Magic Mountain
>Hanging out in the cool mountain air and listening to your chums argue philosophy with each other while sipping turkish coffee

Cannery Row is the comfiest I've read in quite a while. I'd recommend it even if you don't like Steinbeck's usual poverty porn.

Irrungen Wirrungen-Fontane

Thw wheel of time is pretty comfy, and its 14 books so youll be at it a while

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

war and peace

proust is p. comfy ngl

Memes aside, The Kingkiller Chronicle is pretty good for light, comfy reading.
A book of Laird Barron's short stories would be good as well.

Whenever this thread gets posted I always recommend Thomas Hardy's short stories (Wessex Tales). Nobody does comfy like Hardy.

I don't care what anyone says, Kerouac is the epitome of comfy. The scenes in his books absolutely REEK of comfiness. Coffee, tea, and the beauty of both nature and human nature are all mentioned lots. There's a scene in pic related where the protagonist (Kerouac) sits out in the snowy woods with his family's dog and a pot of hot coffee and meditates while snuggled in outdoors gear. Again, REALLY comfy.

I remember that being a great book, it's been I think 6 years or so since I last read it but all the freight hopping, mountain climbing, carousing with friends and naive buddhism really resonated with my sensibilities at the time. Only ever read this and On The Road but it's hard for me to imagine another Kerouac novel topping this one.

Posted pic related in another thread yesterday but for real, reading this is like sitting by a fire in a rocking chair and shooting the shit with your best friend who's well versed in Latin literature.

Especially In The Shadow of Young Girls in Flower, the comfiest of his works.
