I finished S today and would highly recommend it. Consider myself a reader of high brow and difficult literature and thoroughly enjoyed it. Already planning a reread and may fall down the rabbit hole trying to decipher it further. There are clearly unexplained ciphers that will further extend the story and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

are slowly eroding my will to finish.

That's a pretty neat paragraph if you ask me though I've not read the book. Captures what it means to be in a job like that, I'm sure.

It's a deliberate artistic statement and masterfully done but that doesn't make it fun to read.

Thankfully reading for fun is not the only reason to read!

I think that both were pretty good. I mean, you can consider writing outside the typical spaces a gimmick or you can just relax and enjoy what writing outside the typical spaces allows the book to be. I enjoyed both books but would probably recommend House of Leaves if you could only get one.
