Fascinating so far.

I keep getting the urge to warn Piranesi about the dangers in front of him. I keep getting frustrated that he does not connect the ideas with the outer world, but of course, he does not remember the outer world. So when he receives a new piece of information he keeps putting it in his map of the world he knows-- which is the house.

It's picking up. Now we're learning about Gwendolyn's "origin story", so to say.

The plot is becoming clearer now. While I struggled for the first 30% of the book, I am now interested in what happens next. From the onset we know it doesn't end well for Leo but how??

Absolutely bonkers so far. Hazy, fluid, meandering but interesting.

The ascent has started and already the path to Nuristan is full of adventures.
I liked Eric Newby's writing. His self-deprecation, wry humor, and descriptions of an Afghanistan--now largely lost and inaccessible to most of the world--spins a charming story.
I can see a lot of similarities with Bryson's a A Walk in the Woods, another excellent read.
