I finally started reading it. Saw a review that said "just read it. The less you know the better" so I got it. Haven't read it.
Went to dinner at cousins place who also heard good things, got the book, and hasn't read it. So I'm reading it for the both of us I guess
I just read that book. It took me a while to really start enjoying it. I think sticking with it was worth it though. I would definitely recommend it.
Title
Seeing the diaries labeled December 2011 to June 2012 threw me completely, and the rest of the diaries labeled as such is making me even more confused.I was planning to go the cinema today. Movie is starting in 30 minutes, but this chapter is throwing me out, I'm staying to keep reading
Only Part 1 spoilers above
Love the recommendation of going in as blind as possible. You learn as you read
The reason it's best not to know much about this book is because it's like a puzzle game. The events and setting are kind of surreal and don't immediately make sense, and it's a lot of fun to be constantly thinking about possible hows and whys of everything.
I read White Cat, Black Dog by Kelly Link about the same time I read Piranesi, and I think they go well together as surreal fiction which is neither "lol random xD" nor pretentious.
Oh....
Spoilers I guess.....
Was ready to start part 2 when I get home
