Calgary Book Club: Piranesi
Details
⭐ Page Turners: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke – Spoilers Encouraged
The group is getting together to get stuck into Piranesi by Susanna Clarke in a discussion led by whoever has something to say, and the sharpest moments come from the unlikeliest takes.
The discussion runs loose and open — with no wrong answers and nothing to perform, and the discussion almost always heads somewhere unpredicted.
Bring however far you got, and bring a page to read aloud if you fancy it, and bring your gut reactions — since what grabs one reader almost never grabs the next.
Every night is a fine first night — and the conversation moves fast enough that settling in just happens, all you need is yourself and an opinion, and the format is built to fold everyone in.

What helps:
- Any passages or notes you flagged
- Curiosity and patience for other readings
- A copy of Piranesi to flick back through
⭐ "First night and I'd already booked the next — I left with three new books to find and a new favourite chapter" – new to the group

🗯️ The group makes the book more than it could ever be alone — sign up and bring whatever reading you managed and the conversation does everything else. The night's better when you're in it. 🗯️
