Comfy books

i know it has become a meme on this board, but can we get some comfy book recs?

i didn't really think much about it until i read the sun also rises. i quite liked it. anything similar to that?

There's a Yasunari Kawabata thread at the moment. Good stuff there.

beautiful painting

I think Calvino books are quite comfy

mr sammler's planet -- saul bellow
falling angels -- barbara gowdy

Suttree. Have faith in it and really try to visualize what you're reading.

I read the stranger today and it was quite comfy in an absurd way. Like you weren't sure what was happening but neither was Marsault, and you both found that funny. Not sure I understood it fully but I enjoyed it.

been away. just watched the grand budapest hotel
ive been meaning to check his stuff out, ill have to find a book of his

thanks, ill look into these

read it a couple of weeks ago. i felt sorta the same way about. mersault was similar to jake in a way. quiet and detached. but it gets less comfy as the book progresses. the conversation with the prison priest was slightly disturbing and definitely painful.

that's a good idea. had to read it in like 9th grade and dismissed it entirely. ah, to be as sure and simple as a youth.
