>>8564461

Sometimes it feels good to be around other people even if you aren't directly interacting with them.
Also no dishes.

that's the feel i don't get
>Also no dishes.
rinsing a mug isn't much work. you could also buy a stack of paper cups.

I like to read in coffee shops too, i live in the ugly part of a beautiful town. so i just go to the nice part and sit down somewhere, sometimes in a coffee shop, sometimes by the river or in the beer garden.
i like the people bustling around while i sip a coffee or drink a beer. its very relaxing.

>>8564461
Autumn is here but it is even worse than Summer on /lit/

It makes me cry

>>8564512
Where to acquire Vicodin in UK?

>>8564657
Go to the library then

this is the time of year when my wardrobe switches from a bunch of t-shirts to a bunch of t-shirts under a flannel shirt

>>8566590
Just get heroin.

>>8566590
don't do heroin, just as a PSA

>>8566936

How about I go where I want to and you can go where you want

>>8565072
I work from home and live in a different city than my friends and family. All my hobbies are personal hobbies as well. It's one of the only times I get human contact besides grocery shopping.

Washing the coffee maker is worse than the mug.

>>8567279
Jokes on you, I don't want to go anywhere

Last 3 volumes of In Search of Lost Time and a book on the history of architecture from the renaissance to the 19th century. It will be a pretty comfy season I believe.

>>8564461
Alasdair MacIntyre and Marcus Aurelius for now. We'll see where I'll go next.

>>8567368

Epic! 4 whole books! Rock on!!!!!

>>8564461
October means horror for me. I love all things spooky. November more somber stuff

>>8564461
This pic reminds me of my local, which is a really comfy traditional English pub with fireplaces like that and big comfy chairs. It's won numerous awards and is well-known as the best pub in the area, but it's quiet during the day and would be perfect for reading. Only problem is pints cost £3.50 minimum and I'd quickly be bankrupt if I spent my days there.

>>8567285
If you work from home you can live anywhere, why not live near your people?

>>8567604
Working from home only started a few months ago when we consolidated offices to a ridiculous density. I still go in once a week for a meeting and I have to meet clients once in a while (im a consultant).

>>8564461
I just detached the seat from my stationary bike.

1. Finally going to get into Mishima
2. Just bought a bunch of nice tea
3. Also bought an electric blanket
4. Settled into a dorm in the quieter part of campus this semester

>>8567403
Got some good recs for spooky reading?

>>8564617
lmao omg holy fuck I can't even... fucking read in a cafe. Too distracting.

>>8567862
Getting into Ligotti's Songs for a Dead Dreamer, but other sorts of quasi-horror like Burroughs and Saramago's Blindness

>>8564465
This. Sash windows are a bitch.

Dan Simmons The Terror

>>8564461
Finally getting around to reading Moby-Dick.
The prose is god-tier comfy so far.

I've decided to finally go through Poe's complete works. Starting that after I finish Oblomov, I'll read some Euripides at the same time as Poe, and then Primeval and Other Times, and after Poe's done around end October/early November I'm doing The Divine Comedy. After that I'm just going to read mid length middlebrow comfy stuff: Kavalier and Clay, The Corrections, and Bleeding Edge. Very loose though, subject to changes or additions.

Amerifats still do single glass?

i wanted to read something spooky this october (maybe reread my lovecraft collection), but i haven't made it as far into my queue as i'd anticipated. looks like i'll spend the fall working my way through introductory cyberpunk and psychoanalytic texts.

>>8568188
>still do

Did you miss the 100 year old bit or what?

Also, google C.D. Haven and Thermopane.

>>8568215
People live in 17th century housing over here but they still have the good sense to upgrade it to acceptable living conditions.

>>8567383
4 books in two months is enough for me buddy. I have a life and shit.

>>8568281
50 pages a day (an hour to an hour and a half of reading) is 6 250-page books in one month. you got no excuse my dude.

>>8569151
>250 page books

Nigga I be reading the Bible and Shit niggaaa. Ain't nobody reading no 250 page books nigggaaa.

>>8569284
I really didn't know what to put as average pagecount but 1500 pages a month is decent and easy to do.

>>8569295
I'm just fucking with you dude. I don't read very quickly but that sounds reasonable enough.

My setup is so uncomfortable that I actually had thoughts of suicide because of it. A dirty mattress on the spring side. The normal side of the mattress became too dirty with bugs, vomit, and food spillage. There's covers over the springs but it's still not comfy for reading or sleeping, though I'll live for now. Life is fine.

Just read the Watchmen while finishing the Odyssey. Gonna take a shot at Gravity's Rainbow next though that is hardly comfy.

>>8569328
stop puking bugs and food on your mattress

No, that's stupid. What is this website's (especially this board's) infatuation with pretending to be old? You're all a bunch of overweight, bearded men in your late twenties pretending you're in your eighties.

>>8569295
Proust's books average at 500 pages, the history of aechitecture one is about a 1000. I'm fine with that.

>>8569328
pics please, i love this shit

>>8568130
You try too hard.

I would second Ligotti as reccomended by >>8568108 .

Alos, if you have not read Stoker's Dracula I strongly suggest doing so. Genuinely terrified me when I read it in the dead of night at age 14.

As the weather cools I'll sit on my back patio with a cup of tea, a book, and wind down from the day. Currently reading "House on the Borderland"...seems appropriate for the season.

Once the cold weather really kicks in I'll just read in bed, under the blankets. I have a collection of Raymond Carver short stories to read, and maybe something by a Russian author. It's always better to read Russian novels in the winter. Just seems appropriate.

>>8564461
comfy is for the weak

My local pub doesn't have TVs or music. No fireplace, but no place is perfect. Pints for £2.50, too. I reckon that's where I'll be going.

>>8564617
bro im in dover

>>8569328
this kills the comfy

>tfw you live in the southern hemisphere
I'll see you fuckers in 6 months, then we'll see who's the comfy one.

>>8564624
I'm far on the introvert end of the spectrum and I occasionally read in coffee shops. Not any shop will do; some are too loud, busy, and fast. A good coffee shop for reading has ample seating (so you don't have to worry about sitting for hours), other customers that also read or work, outlets & wifi, and a down to earth vibe.

Stop being mad and try it out, fag. Getting out of your room will do you some good.

>>8568209
>introductory cyberpunk and psychoanalytic texts.
Can you give any titles?

>>8567862
Perfume by Patrick Süskind. Not super spooky, but it's twisted and dark in a fun way.

>>8574591

Fuck, that sounds comfy. I want to read in a pub.

why is everyone using blankets and shit in-doors? i mean, i get it, it is getting pretty cold outside (around 10 C where i live rn) but don't you have heating?

>>8575048
i'm just trying to cover some of the basics. i've got gibson's mona lisa overdrive (already read the first two in the trilogy), stephenson's snow crash, freud's civilization & its discontents, and jung's man & his symbols on my queue.

I found this spot yesterday.

The grass underneath this tree is dead and dry, which makes a much more comfortable seat for sitting on for extended periods of time as opposed to live grass.

Behind it, over where I stood to take this picture, there is a hill, of which shaped in such a way that it buffers the never-ending autumn breeze.

In the background, there's a pond with a fountain that lightly breaks the sonorous silence of the park. This park is fairly small, so there aren't many people.
