Fall blew in where I live right as September arrived, so I thought it would only be appropriate to start reading The Hobbit, which is such a great book both for people who love literature and young people (who simultaneously want to read something comfy). I love anything and everything comfy, so of course I started rereading this again today while the cold rain and wind was blowing outside. I kind of have a thing for coffee and cool weather and the ageing quality of nature during Autumn. The Redwall books, Jack Kerouac's autobiographical books, Harry Potter, Stephen King, The Magic Mountain, Watership Down... All of these (and more) have quiet, warm/cool qualities to them. I'm looking for more like these, and I'd like to start a conversation about this sort of stuff.
What are some more comfy books perfect to read during Autumn, and what are the best things that go along with Fall and the books that fit the season so well?

Super comfy, super funny, but kind of melancholic too, I would consider this a good fall book, in fact I just inspired myself to reread it.
Ghost stories too, it goes without saying. I like Algernon Blackwood. I always thought it was funny that that was actually his real name. It's like his parents wanted him to be an occultist and ghost story writer from birth.

Honestly, reading in general is incredible comfy regardless of the genre

Not a book but Cartoon Network put out a miniseries call "Over the Garden Wall" that is both very comfy and very /lit/. Pic related.

There were a couple of fantastic episodes of this. Worth anyone's time if they love comfy autumn.
I'm reading the Fellowship of the Ring at the moment OP and I concur.

the inn scenes in Kingkiller Chronicles
it just makes me want to own a small cozy inn out in the countryside and tell stories with travelers by the fireplace

Potter up to and including Goblet of Fire, the rest doesn't exists as far as I'm concerned.

I can't read at all in Autumn, I just walk around being miserable in the cold. It is beyond me how people like this season, everything is fucking dying, and if you don't cover yourself in claustrophobic layers of bullshit you can't even go outside without dying yourself.
Winter at least has the hope of spring to come, fuck autumn

>>8465660
you have no soul if you can't appreciate autumn. also a fucking pussy

>>8465608
Kek. Your slip is showing.
Anyway, Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes is comfy.

Reading MR James right now for ghost stories. Quite comfy, esp if you like antiquarian vibes.
Read the Long Ships a few months ago. Super comfy picturesque Viking adventure. Serving as galley slave to Arabs and finding treasure in Eastern Europe and all that.
Sherlock Holmes is also a comfy read for me.
Tristam Shandy I found had comfy elements.
Anyone have other suggestions?

don't know where it is for u, but spring for me is mostly wet and shitty.
autumn is by far the comfiest season, especially in New England
>>
>>8465774
New England spring is great. Except that one last year when it was snowing til mid April and and heat for the rest of the season without the comfy middle ground.

Dolores? She's great villain, but that's all that book's got going for. It's dark, dark, teenage angst, some romance, and then there's supesquad battle in the end. It's obvious by now that Snape is a good guy, and were already on lonely ride towards how Voldy is defeated, nothing else really. Playfulness and charm of the previous ones are gone.

Shut the fuck up about spring and daffodils, you irritating faggot

I really liked Earth Abides by George R. Stewart. It's about building up civilization after a plague wipes out almost everybody and it has a cozy isolated feeling throughout.

You argued based on your location, and I'm in the same location and chimed in cause I felt differently. Why do you have to be mean to me?

It's slow going and a bit frustrating when you first pick the book up, but once it "clicks" and starts to flow, it's an incredibly comfy read.
