One thing about a comfort book is that it helps if there isn’t really much tension in it. Well, one type of comfort book, anyway, is the kind where the baddies are buffoons or otherwise nonintimidating. I wouldn’t call Dark Lord of Derkholm one of my comfort books, really, but I admit it was a great comfort to take the thing into a nice hot bath.
