>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 14 20:03:21 2019 No.13994433 Honestly a great read Its not actually difficult, it just has some weird formatting (not the meme wavy text but how it switches perspectives) but its easy to get used to.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 14 20:36:52 2019 No.13994619 Great book. Hope you enjoy it

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 14 21:02:41 2019 No.13994790 I havent read it in years, but I remember liking the Navidson Record parts a lot, Johnny's story, not so much

It's fun. Memorable.
there are a lot of cinematic moments. In the rare times that I watch movies, especially horror movies, there are times when I'll think "oh, that's just like House of Leaves!"
I haven't read it in a while, I think there is a copy somewhere around here...

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 14 23:06:24 2019 No.13995383 >>13994017 It's good, but I think the ergodicism doesn't add to it. It would make a great novella.

I'm about 400 pages in. Like other anons are saying, it's good, worth reading, and not really hard at all. It has a lot of literary easter eggs as well as a good deal of its own riddles and secrets.

A lot of people hyped it up as being a horror novel and said it was really disturbing, but I don't think it's that bad.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 15 02:36:30 2019 No.13996191 >all the responses are very positive thanks anons you really hyped me up for it

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 15 02:43:51 2019 No.13996208 >>13994017 The only postmodern novel to justify the existence of postmodernism.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 15 03:15:37 2019 No.13996265 >>13994790 Johnny's story has some stellar parts but they're surrounded by so much mundane detail you almost have to get lucky and stumble on them by accident >KIND OF LIKE WANDERING AROUND IN A MAZE
