This is an over-glorified interior design book interlaced with too many mildly interesting historical references.

A Movable Feast - Papa Hemingway

Whatever it is-I'm against it.

Cringe

>>16892527
Wrong.

>>16892527
That book is so uncomfy it's ridiculous

Most comfy is Proust

>>16894749
it's really comfy until the end I think, then it's the least comfy book ever

>>16892527
Partial to this

>>16895007
how the heck do you read this? I can't into 18th century /lit/ because I can never understand wtf they are saying. the syntax and vocabulary are too obscure.

>>16892527
If you think it's comfy you missed the point.

>>16892527
La-Bas is comfier

That's not Wind in the Willows

>>16895492
when I'm feeling down, I tend to watch the old stop motion version of Wind in the Willows. Its a lovely piece of nostalgia

>>16895032
Nah, I get the point how he castigates Des Esseintes but I still think it’s comfy regardless and there is literally NOTHING you can say that will change my mind

>>16895477
Though I think La-Bas is better than A Rebours, the latent eroticism and the frustrated sexual tension makes it less comfy to me. I'd say Sac Au dos is his comfiest (but it's very short unfortunately)

>>16892527
That would be Oblomov

>>16892839
fpbp

Screw that. I want the most uncomfortable book imaginable. None of this complacency inducing bullshit.

>>16892527
If reading this made you comfy you missed the point. The gilded turtle dies you fucking retards. Imagine getting filtered by something which spoon feeds you its message in the last few chapters.

Seen Montaigne posted in a lot of comfy threads

What makes him so comfy? Where do I start? His essays?

>>16895829
Read it first, doofus. It’s not complacency inducing at all, it’s a highly uncomfortable book, OP didn’t understand it

>>16892527
Best part was the intro by the author who called it complete bullshit, which it is

>>16895831
This.
>lord, take pity on the Christian who doubts, on the skeptic who would feign belief, on the galley slave of life who sets out to sea alone, in the night, beneath a firmament illumined no longer by the consoling beacon fires of the ancient hope.
Probably the best closing line of any book. One of my favorite lines, I have it memorized

>>16895650
>the old stop motion version of Wind in the Willows.
holy fucking rush of childhood nostalgia anon-sama. I had forgotten about that entirely.

>>16895844
>Where do I start? His essays?
that's pretty much the only he produced, so yes
>What makes him so comfy?
he was the supreme sceptic and yet he managed to remain a life affirmer, a must read for the postmodern condition

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain

>>16892940
Overrated at best, worthless at worst

Ultimate comfy coming through

That's not À vau-l'eau.

>>16892527
>>16892940
Wrong

>>16895912
That doesn't really sound all that comfy

W-were they trying to warn us, lads?

You're all faggots (except for that one guy who posted Monte Christo). This is what REAL comfy looks like.

>>16896876
You're a faggot for being this gay and picaresque and not choosing Stevenson over O'Brien. Meet me under the yardarm.

>>16895023
Been meaning to pick this up

>>16896481
If on a winter's night a traveler is also exceptionally comfy

>>16892940

>>16895844
just one of the smartest people of all time talking to you like an intimate friend/mentor/uncle. i read his complete works twice. start with That to Philosophize is to Learn to Die, The Apology of Reymond Sebond, and Of Solitude.
