I’ve never had a book that I so immediately wanted to dive right back into. If you haven’t heard of it, but like a good mystery (closer to a self-contained ARG than Agatha Christie) or a good 500 page movie review, I could not recommend it more! This weekend I’m planning to do another read-through to catch things I might have missed.

    I seldom get creeped out by things but there was something about House of Leaves that legitimately got under my skin.

    I do understand how some people feel like it’s Foster Wallace levels of self indulgence, but I like that he did something a little weird. Like Maerman mentioned, the full color is great.

    I’ve been slowly going through the Familiar, but I worry that it’s too ambitious a project.

      There’s something about the experience of reading it that feels like the book could reach out and grab you. Maybe I’ll make my own footnotes this time.
