ITT: Books that feel like you're wearing a cosy flannel shirt by a fire in a cabin. I've been reading Muir, Thoreau and Abbey. Their books are comfy to the max and I really enjoy them.

Bonus if love is a pervasive theme

Thoreau and Ed Abbey are based.

Sun Also Rises is a good rec. Would suggest anything from the Popular Patristics series (pref. a Cappadocian Father), the Loebs of Pausanias' Description of Greece, or Wasson/Hofmann/Ruck's The Road to Eleusis.

Sand County Almanac goes well with Muir and the general naturalist theme, the second half is polemic essays but if you're reading Edward Abbey then that's no bother.

Let me preface, I despise flannel. Both as a material and for it's appropriation into the world of /out/-lite fashion. Now I'll give some recs;
>wendell berry, gene logsdon, and edward abbey
the big three names of comfy-/out/
now my personal favorites;
>a river runs through it by maclean
>a month in the country by carr
>lost horizon by hilton

it definitely has parts that are more like stepping on dirty heroin needles but they are not till you are well into it and the book has become a close friend. I would definitely consider it a comfy book but that doesnt mean you wont go through some tough times together, but in the end they will only bring the two of you closer
