Feranon posted:the fifty year sword by house of leaves guy John Dies is a great read, much better than the movie. I haven't read the fifty year sword, but House of Leaves is the only book that caused me to actually yelp a little bit during a certain part, like how you'd get startled during a film. It was a weird experience.

Beige posted:I've read that House of Leaves is written unusually with margin notes and upside down pages or something. Wouldn't this make it too disjointed to read digitally? I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Most people say, when they read a unique book, "I don't know how they'd ever make a movie out of this", but with House of Leaves, I don't know how you could read it digitally, nor could I ever see this book even being put to audio. There's not a lot of 'upside-down' reading, if any at all, but there ARE quite a few footnotes, one which is its own, full story at the end of the book. It's screwy and I would call it a gimmick if the whole thing didn't come together so well.

I didn't know about the house of leaves website, but the guy who told me to read the book said I'd never be the same afterwards that I would think about everything differently. Not so, that's bullshit. Just read the book and enjoy it (or don't). I really liked it as a book and nothing else.

Fun fact: Stephen King's The Mist directly influenced/ inspired Half-Life.

I just genuinely do not know how you're supposed to follow all of the footnotes on a digital version. Do you click on links? Do they even do that?
