it's a book that requires the reader to think in new ways, to decipher codes that are hidden in plain sight but are invisible at the same time. it has unique ways of visualizing the story by twisting the text

Pray tell what the code is? I've read it and enjoyed it a lot, but I think you're full of shit.

Lol I thought this was a meme thread till I read this post. Anon you're replying to was most likely joking.

/lit/ is familiar with House of Leaves.

There's no code, it's just a spooky love story with some bells and whistles attached; the cool kids on this board hate its gimmicks but I think secretly most anons enjoyed at least some of the things Danielewski set out to do. Personally I found it very entertaining, and that's the perfect word to describe it I feel - it's entertaining.
