I loved that novel, but can't say that I enjoyed all of the short stories. They seemed very hit or miss to me, though I doubt Calvino expected the reader to enjoy every one

I enjoyed 'The castle of crossed destinies' tbqh. Really comfy how no one could speak, just tell their stories by laying out tarot cards.

Calvino is comfy in general but Marcovaldo is him at his comfiest

>>13637374

these too

>> No.13638391

Mason & Dixon is still undefeated for comfy, personal opinion.

>> No.13638669

Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose was top comfy.
Sneaking around an old monastery by candlelight, solving riddles using the wisdom of the scholastic philosophers, Brother William's amused fatherly indulgence with Brother Adso's youthful antics...

Pffft. Its not even Calvino's comfiest. The only real and valid answer is of course Don Quixote.

>Marcovaldo

Oh yes. Love the urban sections especially and how the kids make themselves at home.

>>13638669
>The Name of the Rose

Another good one. Any book with a map in it really, but that one's sweet. Love all the sneaking around at night.

After Dark is one of my favourites, but peak comfy is a book about pinball and fucking twins.
