Cannot resist the temptation to post about that awesome book in here too ^^
The House of Leaves
Not much to say about it so far, since I am still reading it (and Golly knows how long it will take ^^)
Imagine a kinda blair witch project book, but with literary references...
Imagine a duet between Zampano the creator and Johnny the writer, imagine a book where the footnotes are as important than the main text itself.... Imagine lots of fake bibliographies, but true ideas under fasle celeb' quotations....
Imagine a house whose depths are even deeper than the deepest caves you could ever think of.
Imagine a beast watching over your shoulder, as you read the book...
Imagine it could be true....

Great you are writing about this book,... i actually have it at home since a year or two, and read it. I loved it. Dutch title is "het Kaartenhuis". Nice to know : a lot of people wanna make a movie out of the book, but the writer refuses to sell the rights, he wants to make a movie of his book himself...
this is AWESOME !!!!
