I just picked up a copy of house of leaves. Saw it referenced a few times in some other media I liked and figured I may as well check out the book itself.
One of my favourite books of all time. Do you have the full colour edition?
Yes! I splurged for the hardcover because I thought it would be a book I'd want to go back to a few times later on, and I'm really happy with how high quality it is.
I don't even know if "reading" is the right verb for engaging with that book. It's practically a different kind of activity.
It's a dense read, but I enjoyed it. I'll admit that I enjoyed it more when I became willing to skim over spots when it got a little too tedious. I've got my own theory on what's going on, and I'd talk about it if I knew how to insert spoilers.
