The pictures here are not related to the book. Piranesi slowly reveals a little bit of the reality to the reader, and as does Cat's book she made. We do whatever moves us and sometimes only one of us shows up with a project.īut whether we have 1 project or 7, they always help moved the discussion and add a ton of fun to our meeting.įor Piranesi, only one member created a project, and it was amazing, so we want to give her props here. Sometimes projects are research projects, or poems, or dioramas or games or food or painted pictures. (yes, that is correct, there are more than a few teachers in this book club).īut I think we all agree the projects are really good and help the book club discussion along quite a bit. I’ve somehow never read Clarke’s best-selling. A few weeks ago, a literary acquaintance of mine wrote me an email recommending Piranesi, the second novel by English author Susanna Clarke. there was a smell of rain, clouds and air, a smell of limitless space.

Piranesi is fond of him.ĭuring much of the book, Piranesi walks around the House and details what he sees and finds. He is wise, and he sends Piranesi on various excursions and academic adventures. To Piranesi, this is the world and it is a kind world. The setting is the House, a place of innumerable halls and rooms, with statues, floods and fish. In the novel, Piranesi is the main character and protagonist. Fantasy is not one of my favorite genres, at all, but I do not think that is what kept me from proclaiming it to be one of the best books I have ever read. Our book club had a rich discussion with some debate and each member enjoyed the book. However, it is a great book, and a great book for a book club to read. Our book club read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke last month, and after sitting with it for about a month, I have decided not to add it to my top tier. Before I add a book to that tier, I have to sit with it and roll it around in my head for a while.
