Should I save House of Leaves for next October or read it this Winter? It sure does look comfy.

>> No.7466285

>>7466266
I'd recommend reading it now, it's the sort of thing you'll probably re-read in a year. Plus you can get in on The Familiar then, which should have another 2 volumes out by next October.

Should I finish Don Quixote first or give it a break and read House of Leaves?

>> No.7467043

>>7466818
Feel free to take a break between Parts I and II, but if you're already on Part II, you might as well just finish it first. Not like Winter's ending anytime soon.

And be wary of the Familiar. It's a huge financial investment.

True. And it also not written by a hack, nor is it buoyed by the cheapest and most vapid experimentalism in prose since lost in the funhouse.

House of Leaves is described as 'horror'


how is horror comfy? Is it scary, thrilling, the type of book you can't read at night?

What the fuck do you mean by comfy. Usually comfy threads are just pictures of cushions on rainy days at that makes sense.

In all seriousness, those parts of the book are a million times interesting than what the the book is 'really' about.

I'm reading Heart of Darkness at the moment and I think it's quite comfy. When the narrator mentions sleeping on the steamer and getting woken up by fish it makes me want to fall asleep too.
