For a book that should literally be read in a semi-reclined position wrapped in blankets; The Magic Mountain.

am i crazy for finding IJ extra comfy? it’s got such a mix of depressing moments and witty humour (along with DFW constantly trying to make sure the reader is following what he’s saying) that makes me feel warm and cozy. i loved reading it in hs and im enjoying my second read thru even more now.

A master class in both comf and literary exposition

The first few sections with Stephen Dedalus can seem kinda intense, if you need some grounding: he recently came back from studying in Europe due to his mother being gravely I’ll. She dies and he’s stuck shaking up with two other students in Martello Tower while teaching at a local school. It’s pretty short, but the last section where you’re almost entirely in Dedalus’ head is intense and can resemble Beckett at times. Once you start with Bloom, the book becomes almost musical.

when I read Stoner for the first time in high school, the ending mortified me. Nowadays it's definitely comfy. This fucker did nothing wrong yet time after time the world fucks him over. Yet, through it all, he finds peace.

It’s the first chapter where it starts snowing in the Alps and where the narrator describes Castorp sitting in his lounge chair reading and researching natural science books deep into the night while nodding off every once in a while. It then goes into a 10 page expository whirlwind on the relation between science and the humanities, the gap between life and non-life, between matter and non-matter that leaves you dizzy after you finish it but also leaves your mind buzzing in a very peasant sort of way

I think it means something that is sublime yet is relatively easy to process while often giving the reader a sense of satisfaction or comfort upon completion. Often these books give the reader a sense of accomplishment and feel that they are more complete upon finishing the book while often not having to do any hard thinking to process it. A book on the physics of electromagnetism would scarely be described as compfy while War and Peace would be something compfy.
Often times I would say a compfy book can empart complex philsophical ideas through an emotionally satisfying and stimulating narrative so that the reader does not feel like its taxing to get through and finds it more memorable without the need to take notes.
