Pic related

Either on the couch in the living room with a cup of water and absolute silence, the back porch under an umbrella in the morning with coffee, or at the kitchen table with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Preferably rainy. Maybe I've listened to a little Steve Reich to wake me up. Maybe I've strummed mindlessly on an acoustic guitar. Maybe I've taken my dog out for a stroll around the neighborhood. Maybe I've already masturbated to Remy Lacroix stretching her asshole behind a piece of glass.

What is so comfy about Dubliners? Never read anything by Joyce.

Aragons's Le Roman Inachevé was a really comfy read. Also Celine is very comfy to me but it's because I started reading him early in my life, it's probably not that comfy.

The atmosphere, the prose and the fact that it's an anthology of vignettes of the lives of common Dubliners. And of course, that last paragraph:

>Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, further westwards, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling too upon every part of the lonely churchyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.
