An introduction to the Classics, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Loved the characterization and that Christie managed to round each of the protags very well in what is quite a tight characters number to pages ratio. The sudden pick up in the pace about halfway (shorter sentences, less description and quick dialogue) will get your blood flowing; my enjoyment increased significantly as the story progressed. Only not giving it a full 5-stars because I like other Christie's stories better, where feel I had much more space to connect with the characters and develop more love for them (I would give my life for Bobby Jones my beloved). ATTWN felt like a very populated and quick book (not that she is known for a sensible number of characters in others). But what a mind to concoct such a mystery!

A fantasy universe created by Sir Terry Pratchett, Discworld is a flat planet balanced on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle. These are comedic novels that parody traditional fantasy tropes. All books can be read as standalones.

I can only tl;dr describe the vibes of this story as: 1. Esheresque. Really quite simple (it's math!) but your brain gets confused at its illusive complexity. 2. A lucid dream that someone remembered in a great detail and is now trying to retell, but you would had to be there to completely grasp and understand. You'll lose your mind reading this story and it's by design. Its reality starts to shift midway, slowly at first, then it tips unexpectedly. It changes page to page, sentence to sentence even, if you read too fast. It's to connect with Piranesi's own feeling of utter panic at understanding his reality, you're just experiencing it from the other side. A stunning book which spun me around and spit me out and I'm so glad for it. Dark but somehow incredibly hopeful. Also, to leave a message for the tumblr side of the internet: it has an unapologetically evil gay and Piranesi is wet-cat of a bisexual man, you will not prove me otherwise.

Not sure who's losing their mind faster, I, the reader, or Piranesi. Clarke has succeeded to completely bamboozle me with the worldbuilding in this book, I am going mad and loving it.
