Well, I love reading. Any kind of book really, as long as it's well written. Ideally looking for more people around my age to start or join a book club with.

Super fun little book with a really unique atmosphere and worldbuilding. Really a classic comedy/fantasy.

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Buy this book

I like this book because It really is one of a kind. Basically this guy called Piranesi lives in a house with infinitive corridors. His mission is to catalogue all the different rooms and the things that happen in them. It starts out quite mysterious and has takes really interesting and unexpected turns along the way. It is beautifully written, leans heavily into philosophy and really makes you think. Unfortunately saying much more about the story would spoil that for you - I would recommend to pick up that book knowing as little as possible.

DLC
