hot damn this book is supremely comfy so far

I truly love these lads. picking up a big 700+ page Tolstoy or Dostoevsky door stopper novel after spending the spring and summer and most of autumn reading other stuff feels like coming home after a long journey.

The first two sections of this were absolutely the comfiest thing I've ever read. part 3 was obviously on the more horrifying side of things

What are you currently reading? what are our thoughts on it so far? try to use spoilers where appropriate

>what you're reading this winter
The fortunate fall by raphael carter
Das Kapital
and hopefully I'll begin to tackle "postmodernism" by fredric jameson when I'm done with marx
>what's on your mind lately
Not much. I'm not happy but I'm not depressed either. I guess I've been feeling a lot of "Weltschmerz" lately. A bit anxious about society's future as a whole.
>what is your comfy setup
I mostly read in my bed with my usual clothing. I don't have pajamas. I should probably get some.
When I'm reading Das Kapital I like to read on a desk with some hot choccy or something. Helps me focus.

I have like 175 pages left in brothers K lads, im gonna go mad if cant finish it today. guess I should start reading and stop 4chaning
