Post the comfiest books you know. I'm on vacation and it's been raining in my city and all I really wanna do now is read a comfy book while drinking hot chocolate or some shit. You know, those books that make you feel part of the story. Dont really care the genre or if its happy, sad or if it has philosophical innuendos or if its just a stupid story.

>tl;dr: post books that make you feel comfy

>pic related: HP 7 made me feel extremely comfy desu

it's very comfy but it's a slow read and you can't "turn your brain off"

I have to read like 5 minutes a page trying to decipher some of his more complex analogies or musings, but that's just me

"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."

You only turn your brain off for Harry Potter because you're too dumb to see its themes and intricate plot points. 4-6 are classics

This. All 7 are modern masterpieces. There's a very short list of books more purely enjoyable.

>>8057708

You're trolling but books 4, 5 & 6 are genuinely masterful in storytelling and execution. Name one book that even comes close.

>>8057731
I wasn't trolling. I was stretching but seriously, the series is pure comfy.

Every "comfy books" thread should start and end with The Hobbit. There's no topping it.

>phantom tollbooth

holy shit now there was a hyped up book. All the quirky kids raved about it and when I read it it was the most boring piece of le randumb humor book I've ever read. Like Alice in Wonderland for retards.

Subtraction soup was pretty GOAT though.

I can understand comfy, but the books are not particularly good. They are full of massive plot holes and cliches.

If you read to turn your brain off perhaps you could choose a different activity like being a manchild playing video games, a drooling retard watching a superhero movie, or even better yet a vegetable on a hospital bed that is being argued over on whether to keep them alive.
