i've just read the moon and sixpence by w somerset maugham. definitely fits into this category and it's fucking fantastic. the satire is so well done and holy shit the description of the painter's masterpiece near the end is just awesome

I hate reading.

Reading is an ice pick, chipping into my brain; some author is forcing their thoughts into mine and I don't like it.

>>8601128
The Conspiracy Against the Human Race
On the Heights of Despair
Better Never to have Been
On the Sufferings of the World
On the Vanity of Existence
The Last Messiah

Anything by Italo Clavino, particularly I would recommend the Our Ancestors "trilogy", Baron in the Trees, and The Nonexistant Knight/The Cloven Viscount.

I also quite like George Saunders for contemporary surreal short stories.

Papa You're Crazy by William Saroyan
Very happy and light.

Sounds nice.

Barbara Pym or PG Wodehouse

John Updike. All his books are the tritest and most degenerate, unchallenging simplistic creations with the greatest prose of all time. Strange blend.

Calvino. Not even kidding. Mr. Palomar is so comfy and funny.

The Animals of Farthing Wood.

Kids/YA book from my childhood. Comfy as fuck, don't have to think at all to appreciate the story. Nice happy ending, some tragedies that make you sad.

Confirmed for not having read it

Pickwick Papers by Dickens
Calvino
Wodehouse

Those are my go-to picks for comfy.

The Picture of Dorian Grey.
Until maybe the last quarter

Anything by Tolkien that is not related to LoTR.

The Hobbit.

alltime fav calv novel?

A book that I refer to as the blue book. It is written entirely in a language of my own creation, loosely rooted in medieval Tigrinya and American sign language. The plot concerns a man who may be a cheese. It is a work of two volumes, only one of which is visible to the naked eye, but you won't know which.
I find it very enjoyable light reading. If you would like a copy, close your eyes and reach into the box on my lap.

Anything by Jack London is very comfy and easy to read.
