The Forest Path to the Spring - Malcolm Lowry
Redwall series
can't get comfier
I read a book in highschool that involved a young boy stealing 10 dollars from a church to buy himself a bike. The bike gets stolen, and he becomes forced to perform oddjobs around the city to earn the 10 dollars back. Can't commentate on how good it really is, but I remember it being super comfy.
I think it was called ''For 10 dollars''. I can't eve n find it on the internet.
The Non-Existant Knight/The Cloven Viscount by Calvino, I Am a Cat by Soseki NatsumeVineland is pretty comfy if you like comedic surrealism
I keep seeing this word 'comfy' on this site. WTF does that mean???

Any book that recreates that feeling of sitting in front of a fire with a blanket wrapped about your shoulders and your special someone under your arm thinking to yourself 'everything is well' is a comfy book
Proust is my my favorite wrier to read in bed until I fall asleep
Pic related is quite comfy, as are most of Soseki's other offerings.
I find movies like The Thing, The Hateful Eight, and Night of The Living Dead comfy because they deal with people basically hanging out in comfort as horror or otherwise harsh circumstances surround them.
What books can recreate this feeling?

Is it good?
This is really comfy to me right now, though i just started it so that could change. The story goes off into tangents into smaller stories and im on board all the way. Glad its so long because im enjoying it that much. I guess it's a different sort of comfy though, it does require a lot of effort from the reader but doing so is satisfying and ultimately relaxing

I found The Recognitions to be thoroughly depressing throughout its entirety.

I just started reading Water Margin, the oldest of the four classic Chinese novels, and it is very similar
Knausgaard's My Struggle (esp Book 3)
Typhoon by Conrad was recommended by the last comfy thread and it sucked.
Looking for books to recreate comfy except more like the end of Fall of the House of Usher, with classical references but an impending sense of doom.

i just started on it and didnt have any clue what it was about beforehand. it starts out comfy in my opinion. Pagan preachers, inquisitive children, monkeys walking around. It worked as comfy in my book. Now things are starting to get more dark so i see that its not probably gonna be that comfy after all :(
