Almost skipped a book club pick last month, glad I didn't

I was dead set against reading 'Piranesi' for our club. The summary sounded too weird and I figured I'd just skim the SparkNotes. But my friend Karen kept pushing it, so I gave it a shot at page 50 I was hooked. The way the house just slowly unfolds its secrets got me in a way I didn't expect. Three of us ended up debating the ending for two hours after the meeting wrapped. Has anyone else had a book they hated the idea of but ended up loving once they actually read it?

The "house slowly unfolds its secrets" part really hit me. It's funny how we're so quick to judge a book by its cover or summary, when so many of life's best experiences start with us being reluctantly dragged into them.

Fair point but sometimes a house is just a house.
