Old, calming book?
By Bucket-Bridge69
I’m trying to find a novel (or a couple) from an earlier century that feels calm and comforting—nothing super intense or scary. Basically something I can curl up with on the couch with a hot cup of tea. I started Les Misérables by Victor Hugo and I really liked his tone. The way he writes makes it feel like you’re just hanging out with him while he shows you the setting and the characters, and it’s kind of gentle when he’s being gentle. But yeah, I know that book still has heavier stuff going on, so it’s not exactly the cozy vibe I want all the time. I don’t even mind if the story isn’t super fast or if there are tangents, since I feel like that’s pretty normal for 1800s books. If it’s a classic that’s pretty well-known and something people often read in English class, that would be a plus too, but I’m not picky about whether it was originally written in English.
