Lord of the Rings up until they reach Bree is some of the comfiest reading ever; the Barrow-Downs just serve to make the comfy bits more intense.

Stop-Time was the comfiest book I've ever read. I don't think i've ever seen anyone discus it here.

It was recommended to me by DFW in an essay.

>Treasure Island
Haven't read it since I was 10 and can't remember much about it. Jekyll & Hyde remains fairly based (and extremely comfy) though
>Huck Finn
Absolute top-tier in terms of comfiness and humor and is also powerful in ways that most comfy books aren't.
>Wind in the Willows
Very comfy. Probably in the top 5 children's books.

How about some poetry?

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Edward Fitzgerald)
Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (Thomas Gray)
The Eve of St. Agnes (John Keats)
And pretty much all of Lyrical Ballads (Wordsworth and Coleridge)

From the Rubaiyat:

"Here with a loaf of bread beneath the bough,
A flask of wine, a book of verse--and thou
Beside me singing in the wilderness--
And wilderness is paradise enow."

I found VC andrews to always be particularly comfy, especially the earlier works, even those taken over by the ghost author. really up until the 'logan' series.
