Just about everything by Dickens fits in the comfy category, Great Expectations and David Copperfield especially. I've a tradition of reading his Christmas stories each year as well.

I agree that they're almost all comfy, but comfy in different ways. Great Expectations is a sort of spooky and dark comfy, but David Copperfield is a warm and cheerful comfy

lots of 19th century classics, is it something about the time period that's so comfy? maybe a still somewhat pure society just being introduced to industrialism?
