From Percy to Pessoa — a literary gauntlet wherein each book becomes progressively more complex in writing style, structure, and/or vocabulary. Percy Jackson is our baseline, and Pessoa my personal biggest fear. Selections are almost entirely unrelated by subject matter, and obviously limited by my own inexperience and preferences. Good luck!

(Listed in descending order because I did not plan far enough ahead). If you’re still unsatisfied after this, go read Kant or something.

Inspired by The Office. Named after Pam, Oscar and Toby’s exclusive book club - they gather once a month to “discuss books, art and celebrate culture in a very civilized way”. These are some ideas to use to recreate it with your friends, have food and drinks attuned to the book or the writer’s culture.
