I heard this is comfy.
V. by Pynchon.
Comfiest thing I've read in a while, but there's one chapter that everyone on /lit/ complains about.

Chesterton.

No, it's depressing as fuck. And flat out fucking bizarre at the end.

Currently reading The Alexandria Quartet and finding it pretty dang comfy. Things are always happening in autumn, not much plot, great character psychology, great imagery.

Woops, I misread comfy for atmospheric.
Probably best to give Lovecraft a miss.

Reading this right now, about halfway through it. I wouldn't really say that it's comfy, but it does have a very familiar feeling to it that could be comfy to you. It's mostly just a few sad women and water at this point.
Calvino is the comfy king. I've also heard Mann's The Magic Mountain is extremely comfy.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

What's up with Typee. I've read about it and it sounds like genre trash.
>>7990332
Heavenly prose, no plot, decadent aristocracy and their sense of duty for the land and its people, meanderings, musings and that neverending feeling that time is still on the last golden autumn afternoons, right before it all changes forever. What more do you want?

Can't wait to get on this. I hope it's at least as good as the above.

ulysses, absalom, absalom!, wise blood
Tortilla Flat by Steinbeck. Comfiest book I've ever read. The whole atmosphere of the book is so things-will-work-themself-out.
Read it during a summer evening for maximum effect.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
C&P is pretty comfy
Dude spends most of the novel sleeping on his couch
candide is pretty damn comfy
If there's a novel comfier than Cannery Row i need to read it.
a wild sheep chase is comfy af as well especially if you're a smoker
I don't know if he's an actual good author, since I read him while on junior high school and I could be romanticizing him, but "la sombra del viento" from Carlos Ruiz Zafón was the comfiest book I've ever read.

Les Enfants Terribles by Jean Cocteau

Check out Keats's "To Autumn." It's actually so short I'll do you one better and post it here:
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft,
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Agreed. In terms of comfy, I think Steinbeck rules supreme. Travels with Charley, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday are all great - especially Travels with Charley, where he goes on a roadtrip across the US in a pickup truck that has been modified into a mobile home with his dog.

This.
All of his fiction is extremely cheerful and extremely well written.
