Should I consider reading this?
Sure, just don't be influenced by social media grifters claiming it's the best novel ever. It's a very fun book.
>>25220113I enjoyed it but my life wasn't changed by it.
>>25220113no. see any other thread about it. derivative, shallow, amateurish...
>>25220113>>25220162its fun. if youve never read nabokov maybe its mind blowing, etc.
I need to pick it back up. Truant's footnotes caused me to put down the book. I have half a mind to skip them, but I know that I should try to read the book on its own terms. It is crazy, because I usually love page long footnotes. I just hate everything about Truant's voice.
No just read IJ

Imagine it was called House of seethes and it’s just a bunch regurgitated 4chan rageposts throughout the years being screeched through the walls.
>>25226191or dont because its notimagine only having 4chan as a reference point?
It got me into DOOM
>>25226193What’s wrong with that? Aside from everything?
>>25226971I too got into the book because of the My House Doom megawad.
It's Danielewski's best work.Only Revolutions leans into the gimmick more and is more about nostalgia and emotion than 'narrative'. It's maybe worth a read too.Fifty Year Sword is cool but very short.House of Leaves is, ironically perhaps, Daneilewski's most accessible work in the sense that I think if you took a random sample of 100 people, it would be the book that the most of them would get through/enjoy.
>>25220113I read the plot synopsis on wikipedia and watched some analysis videos by influencers. It's overrated tripe that relies on gimmicks to mask its lack of wit.
>>25226097He still wears that hat
>>25227179Yeah and he looks fucking awesome.
>>25228051He looks like a fucking mummy with a faggy hat
Uh oh.
>>25227105i cant really get into the 'artier' book objects hes done. like i want to appreciate the effort, but my spirit is weak and im a pretty arty dude.
>>25228075the fucking dome on this chick, jeepers.
