What are your favourite comfy books?

What is the comfiest piece of writing ever put to paper? I seek total comfort and absolute coziness.

Has that one anon finished his book about how NEET's are the inheritors of the aristocratic tradition? I'd be very interested in reading it.

How many NEET's here?

Can we have a comfy thread about cool/rare/interesting/funny English words?

I'll start: "ostrobogulous" and "scintillescent." The latter is the longest English word where every letter that appears in it appears exactly twice.

It's around 62-63 this year so far. I think that's the most i've read in a single year, some of them were pretty short though. And yes, I'm a NEET

I fell asleep listening to this dude a bunch because I would listen to playlists in my car on lunch break, always so comfy. I swear I started rambling random musings in my head after that. It was weird. Fuck was I comfy back then though.

>drop out of school after 2 years of lit degree
>bounce around temp jobs and service industry for a few years
>get job at call-center for major b2b software company
>do my time, get promoted into a behind the scenes technical position with zero customer contact
>work from home and read most of the day, check email occasionally, do real work for maybe 1-2hrs tops
>have based conference calls with pajeets at 2am once a week, joke about how much india and america both suck

don't get a degree desu, you don't need one these days

i wanted to go to philosophy but i realized that it won't give you bread and it's basically the same as reading philosophy books except someone explains it to you and you can discuss it with like minded people so i went to engineering and after finishing it i got a flexible job. basically i have certain projects that need to be finished in a certain period of time and i might need to supervise every while and then.

Its friday evening. You just opened a bottle of red wine. You have no appointments or duties for the weekend and the weather forecast says rain for 3 days straight. Which book do you start?

you'll learn how to get out of bed when you are too comfy basically

What's the difference in meaning between these two sentences?

>The Germans aren't better than the French, because they're different cultures.
>The Germans aren't better than the French because they're different cultures.

You just can't think of any.

What are the comfiest publishing houses?

Yes, I'm stupid. I'm an actual friendless neet.

Okay /lit/, one of my first posts here. I don't read as much as I would like, but I'm an average reader I'd say.

What books, or sections of a book, give you those cozy/comfy feels? The kind of feeling where you want to sit in front of a fireplace with a warm cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a blanket, and just read?

For me it's the first chapter of Tolkien's "Book of Lost Tales I", the chapter about the Cottage of Lost Play. The atmosphere this chapter depicts give me such comfy feelings. Truly love it. A quick quote:

"He was now near the centre of this great island and for many days had wandered its roads, stopping each night at what dwelling of folk he might chance upon, where it hamlet or good town, about the house of eve at the kindling of candles. Now at that time the desire of new sights is least, even in one whose heart is that of an explorer; and then even such a son of Eärendel as was this wayfarer turns his thoughts rather to supper and to rest and the telling of tales before the time of bed and sleep is come."

Yes, we're merely pretending

Yes, you fell for the meme of reading eight 8/10+ books. Enjoy, and make sure to expand into the genre of whichever one you like the most!

Only the introduction/first chapters explaining his mythology are really intriguing. The rest feels like you're studying a textbook
