House of Leaves
It’s been sitting on my shelf for about a year. Time to dig in.
Progress. No spoilers, please. I’ve only been able to sit down with it a couple of times for a short period so far.
Read the Foreword - honestly wasn’t sure I wanted to go on.
Read the first two chapters - initially got some Blair Witch Project vibes, but it has moved beyond that.

The first three-fourths of the echoes chapter almost gave me an aneurysm.

I just finished The Library at Mount Char after seeing it suggested here. Seriously. What the hell? The most unhinged/amazing thing I've read in a while.

Jaw on the floor type stuff throughout. That book left me thinking about it for weeks after I read it. Probably will read it again this year I enjoyed it so much. Glad you enjoyed it.

My copy is on the way.
I’m becoming much more comfortable with the style of House of Leaves. The Ed. note near the end of one chapter that calls Truant’s writing “impenetrable” is pretty accurate. Things are picking up, though.

I am a cat
The best character, the cat, gets overshadowed by im guessing weirdly translated dialogue by bland characters. It was also really fricking long. Enjoyed the parts where the cat was featured.

Chapter IX is the most twisted demonstration of prose that I’ve ever read. On with this labor…hopefully of love in the end.

Just got through reading this. The book definitely tries to break the reader from trying to understand the writing completely, with the back and forth of every literary device, format. Really pushes the boundaries of variation. It’s a Roulette of novels; you’ll go crazy trying to master it, use only for entertainment.
