I love Piranesi (the character, but also the book) so very, very much. I reread this book whenever I need to remember how to find comfort and beauty in life, or if I need to remember how to treat myself kindly. Never met a character with such deep self love, as well as love for the world. I don't even care that I struggle a bit with the visualizations of plinths and columns; this book is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Sad and lovely. Piranesi has my whole heart.
