Is there any literature that gives you a similar comfy feeling that you get from watching slice of life/romance anime?
>>9757764
no, I'm specifically asking for literature.
>>9757749
yes, slice of life children's books
>>9757749
Parts of Redwall probably.
>>9757749
It's called manga.
We have comfy reads here, but they're not the same as Japanese "comfy"
>>9757786
I just want a book that I will read be unable to keep myself from smiling the whole time through.
>>9757832
Whinnie the pooh
No joke
>>9757846
Ive never read it but heard good things. Is it readable for non-childern?
>>9757867
I imagine it's why he recommended it.
>>9757749
Romeo and Juliet
Pride and Prejudice
Wuthering Heights
The Scarlet Letter
Madame Bovary
The Importance of Being Earnest
Okay. Tove Jansson is a favourite of mine.

I smiled the entire time I was reading a forgotten gem of a children's book called Ronia the Robber's Daughter. This book was apparently going to be adapted by Studio Ghibli, but that never came through.
Such a good book. Damn I loved that book.
>>9757749

Young Adult book in a contemporary set with a male pov don't exist. It's a genre reserved for women, we have manga instead.

>שבטיות היא דבר רע
what did (((he))) mean by this?
>>9758212
because hating people for liking things you dont like is unproductive
tribalism is unproductive, and only serves to give those who are weak of mind a pseudoideology
>>9758205
That's like 50% of light novels

>tfw LNs are the YAs for men
>>9758227
good goy
>>9758239
i wonder what its like having memes as a personality.
>>9758227
>tribalism is unproductive
What if, say, someone is motivated by love of his tribe to produce?
>>9758252
you ought to know B^)
>>9757784
>actual serious post ignored
I knew this was a shitposting thread. Redwall is comfy as fuck, and shows that GRRM is shit at writing food descriptions.
>>9758253
then he allocates the resources produced inefficiently

My diary.
Howard Pyle's Robin Hood
>>9757749
Fucking weebs.
Ulysses, unironically
>>9757749
aren't a shitton of manga based on japanese light novels, which are technically literature? so i guess that should work
i read the baccano ones at some point, as i really liked the series, they are translated somewhere on the internet
>>9757924
It's a shame they never made a digital version. I don't have a lot of space for physical books and the narrator of the audiobook isn't great imo.
>>9757749
Kafka in the Shore is comfy af.
>>9757749
I can't get comfy anymore
>>9757749
Flaubert
>>9761377
Forget that post. Micheal Rosen stuff gets me to smile sometimes.
In Search of Lost Time
Or Ulysses for extra hard mode
Chapter 2 of A Protrait of the Artist as a Young Man and some of the stories in Dubliners, particularly the early ones.
>>9757749
Weird nobody said Murakami yet. Anyway, read Norwegian Wood

>winnie-the-pooh
milne has some of the funniest, most physical prose of any author i've read; e.g., i love how he describes pooh as "stumping along". i mean, just the opening lines have me pealing with laughter.
>Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.
>>9757749
Definitely Murakami. Basically what you described. Very cozy.
stephen king books are comfy
>>9757749
Chekov stories
