Soon summer soon. Post comfy books to read during that season.

I read The Dharma Bums in a city park last June, while laying on a blanket on the grass and with iced water. It was definitely a very comfy experience.

Has anyone read Tove Jansson's The Summer Book? Is it any good?

I loved reading the Moomin novels and comics as a kid, and now I'm interested in maybe reading some of Tove Jansson's adult books

I hate summer. It's already too hot and the sun is burning electric. I hate the sun. It turns me into a cold, coarse-minded creature focused on survival and escape: stray between me and the promise of shade and I just might dispatch you, Meursault-style.

It's comfy enough, although not my favorite of all her adult fiction. Give it a try, anon.

Is Moomin worth reading as a non child?

Absolutely. I think, as all good children's lit, in many ways it can be better appreciated in adulthood.

Don't have any suggestions, take a bump.

/lit/ is forever doomed if this thread can't get at least 50 replies.
