Just picked the book up again today to reread, and I finally realized the cover of the book is the endless staircase

what are your opinions on House of Leaves?

>> No.4200794

My opinion is that your realisation is completely asinine.

Oh, why's that? I thought the cover looked like a blueprint of the endless hallway with the staircase in the center. Hmm

You're right, that's what it looks like. It's very obvious. That's why it's asinine. Don't you have anything more insightful to say about the book than to comment on its front cover?

I see your point. I don't have much to say about it other than it doesn't make a lot of sense. I liked reading it for pleasure and I already did that. Now I'm rereading it to make sense of the formatting, narratives, and everything else Danielewski put into it. That's why I asked for other's opinions on it to see what they thought of it.

It's generally beneficial for a thread if you have a bit more to say about the book. I haven't read it so I can't comment further. Good luck.
