I’m making my way through the Strugastky brothers’ works, found out about them through roadside picnic but i just finished “Monday starts on Saturday” and enjoyed it just as much. Edit to add: it’s a science fiction novel from the perspective of a soviet programmer who stumbles into magic. He meets a lot of people for whom magic is mundane, and the book does such an awesome job describing his confusion and curiosity vs everybody elses acceptance of it as day-to-day. Its also super funny :)

    I read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke recently, in about 2 sittings, it was amazing. Very fantastical and weird.

    By the same author, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - alternate British history set around 1800 where magic is real, one of those books that you just live in the whole time you’re reading it (also made into a very good BBC miniseries)
