How the fuck is "as i lay dying" comfy in any way?
Do you consider foul odor from a decomposing body to create a comfy atmosphere?

I've got the same copy of Count of Monte Cristo. Feels great to sit next to my fireplace and lay the book my lap (it's pretty big), especially with the weather getting cold here.

I think it has an unexplainable comfy feel...it's all somewhat like a dream suffused with the smell of wet cedar and the sound of pebbles under wagon wheels. Maximum comfort.
A year in province and toujours province are comfy af
In Search of Lost Time. Anna Karenin. Not Levin's pseudomystical pandering on the simple peasant life. Just the literal pettiness of the petty bourgeois and their comforts.

Comfy as shit, mate, clearly you haven't read Dubliners.

I received Anna Karenina for Christmas, planning to read over the summer, but might save it for December, how did you like it, as good as the hype?

If comfy = making the reader fall asleep, then that shit nailed it. I tried three different times.

How was he fucking thursday? Im not reading the book to find out just tell me, this has infuriating me
P.G Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories are the comfiest.
"Comfy" is actually just a really good word in general to describe the way a book makes you feel. Why get rid of it if it makes sense and works and everybody knows what you mean? I actually used it in class last week and nobody was confused. We had just read pride and prejudice and our professor asked what our first impressions were. Nobody was raising their hand and it was totally quiet and beginning to get a bit awkward, so i raised my hand. He called on me. I said, quietly, "Really comfy, I thought." Prof said, "Comfy," and he thought about that, and he said "Comfy, yeah." "Comfy," I repeated. He put his hand on his chin and nodded and opened the book and started flipping through it, nodded, said, "Comfy."

confine myself more and more to my living quarters and pass
my life away sleeping. "

Coupland is comfy.
Siddhartha is to austere to be comfy, tho.
>>7865324
But it's so plainly spoken, like a gentle voice.
>>7865208
Jansson is comfy in general. I especially liked The Summer Book.

it's dry and monotonous, not comfy. good book. not comfy.
This book is very comfy

I found it hideously overwritten. What should have been a three-sentence reference was made into a ten-page intro.

Nice choice, just started reading it and it does give off a more hopeful vibe than what I've recently read.

Ah yes those graphic descriptions of surgical procedures were extremely comfy

I also didn't care for it. I can see how it's comfy though.

What do you guys mean by 'comfy'? Because As I Lay Dying was jarring, sad, and at times horrible. Comfy was never in my mind while reading it.
>>7865469
i did not like this book
god-tier comfy lit right here
The Magic Mountain was comfy af

Best opening scene out of everything I've read (not much, desu). It doesn't entirely fit my definition of comfy though. The setting yes, the nature, the passing of seasons, the train ride perhaps; but the subdued sense of delicate tragedy unfolding all the way through embittered my smile.
As for my contribution, how did you find Candide? It reminded me of the twenty years that have passed since I read Rabelais -- time to get back to that!

This.
I spent a whole summer as a deckhand on a ferry transporting cattle in the Finnish archipelago. After a hard days work of showeling shit and manual labor, nothing made me unwind like taking a sauna bath and reading some Knausgård (translated in swedish).
Def the comfiest writer out there.
