How tf is reading a giant poem having to re read and re re read lines comfy?

broooo i'll tell kids to start with the Greeks just as much as the next guy, but Homer is not comfy

Name some books you guys think are comfy

Poe's Ligeia is the most comfy fiction i can think of at the moment
I fuckin love Poe

Dune and The Hobbit are my go to comfy reads.

Emerson's Nature is also comfy if I need something short

I agree with The Hobbit.
Comfy read.

The Once and Future King

...

my man

All I'm saying is, the artist was very flattering and generous.
>No skinny ass Rocinante
>No fat ass Sancho
>No wobbly "Mambrino's barber basin" on Quixote's head.

Watership Down, Dracula (kinda), The Importance of Being Earnest, if you want something short.

What a nutjob

the hobbit

Ab Urbe Condita Libri by livy

This. Also The Fellowship of the Ring.

>Homer is not comfy
what a pleb

iliad yes, odyssey no

the iliad is full of nice speeches and descriptions of battles. That's comfy to me.

the Odyssey is just stressful to read imo. Just fucking GO HOME already. He is only actually travelling home for the middle third of the book.

The Wind in the Willows

A Sportsman's Sketches

Borges - Fictions
Nabokov - The Gift

Good thread. Very comfy. I'd add (unironically) pic related.

The description of the jewish ghetto and the atmosphere in general is to notch.

>The description of the jewish ghetto and the atmosphere in general is to notch.
I don't know if you've been to Prague, but the description is very faithful to the atmosphere which can still be breathed in some areas of the ghetto, especially the cemetery. I've read the book after visiting the city, and it was like being teleported back there

Which translation?

I've actually been there, but it's been more than ten years now. Remember visiting the Old New Synagogue which was very nice.

Mason & Dixon was pretty comfy, especially the framing narrative.

The world ahead.
