After finishing “The Master and Margarita”, I started reading earlier this week “The Remains of the Day” by Kazuo Ishiguro. I wanted to start with Ishiguro a few months ago and I was kind of undecided between this and “Never Let Me Go”, which I nominated for the next bookclub.
I'm currently on page 70 and so far I'm enjoying it. The main character is an old Butler who's kind of of a sperg. His new american boss gives him a few days off and he goes on a roadtrip through the English countryside to visit the old Housekeeper who left the Manor 20 years before while revisiting his memories from the time she worked there.

Just finished _The Picture of Dorian Gray_
It's fiction about a rich guy in Victorian era England who gets a painting made of him. The painting is spooky and influences his perspective on life
It's a nice length and makes good use of literary devices that even a pleb like me can appreciate.
It has a lot of great quips; many of which are said by a character named Lord Henry who would certainly spend his time dunking on woman on this site if he was around today.
