Aside from Shadow being 'edgy' I'm not seeing what was wrong with this at all. It's a pretty perfect opening. It immediately characterizes him as a nice guy, so you're left wondering how he got into prison in the first place, and reads well without being dull or overcomplicated.

I remember that I started reading that one while I was in the army. It was our first 5 days sleeping in the woods. We were constantly doing combat practice during the day, jumping from tree to tree, taking cover from shelling, shooting at targets. We also praticed skiing, which was awful because I always managed to get two lefty skies and shit like that.


It was cold and snow on the ground, this meant that all my gloves and sock were constantly getting wet when we were jumping around. We had program from morning to night. The only rest we had was during our meals.During the night we only got 3-4 hours of sleep max

It's pretty interesting to be subjugated to such a hard schedule. You have no free time for rumination or free thought. You are just a cold, irritated robot.

Anyway on the third day we finally got a few hours of free time in the evening. I took the opportunity and started reading Siddhartha. I was inside a warm tent and in the light of a photo gen lamp I started reading. I got some escape from the literal hell that was the army for a few hours. I have never before or after that enjoyed reading so much

Fucking hell, totally this. I remember I once spent a week pretty much reading lord of the rings and smoking weed nonstop, packed a bunch of food into a bag and hiked randomly into the bush with a tent, spent a few days there finishing it off, shit was absolutely fucked.

here's a picture I find quite comfy, guys. the unwashed dishes, nice green grass, unused trampoline and shed, cool animals hanging around, cold chips on a plate. hope you guys like it (:

My vote for comfiest book, I read 'selected stories' by Kjell Askildsen recently, he's a Norwegian writer, kind of dirty realism type stuff. I read a lot of his stories in the morning drinking coffee, they're real nice. unfortunately I think the 'selected stories' collection I got is the only stories of his translated to English, so I guess I gotta learn Norwegian if I want to read more. His stories are often about siblings hanging out, sharing a bottle of wine, walking around looking at fjords, smoking cigarettes in bed, that sort of thing, quite nihilistic often

Recently I went to Chapters with a friend of mine to buy books for his young son... I can confirm that, yes, lots of children's books have exquisitely soft fur, fake or not I don't know, on and in them.

They could, if it's cleaned and sterilized. What do you think wool is?

Wool is different from fur (as in, it's considered something different, which is why it's sheared while fur is still attached), and what I meant is that they're not going to be killing minks or whatever for children's books.
