It should be easy, since you don't have to remember all the words that have e's in them.

Very funny anon, I almost choked on the water I was drinking.
In case you're not joking the point is that less common words will be used in their place.

Has to be approved by the cartel to be a meme. Because the authors don't like faggots = not memetic.

I recently got it (well, a translation) from the library. Haven't started reading it yet, but I'm a bit... wary that it might be only known for being quirky instead of actually being good. Should find out soon what's what.

House of Leaves does so many stupid, laughable, embarrassing things but I still love it and it spooked me when I read it. People who get HoL tattoos and think its absolute genius are taking it a bit too far though. It's more or less a 700 page creepypasta.

Is it, though? I'm excited to get to it, but I've yet to hear any analysis that makes me what to put it above the hundreds of other tomes I want to read.

With forgetful ease
the forgotten tease
of shapeless days pass by.

And I feel them hesitate sometimes and whisper their concordance slight gestures in class.
They are mine.
And drift still with the irregularity of wine and doors,
in constructed mythologies
of evening reflections
long since gone by.

Came here to post this. Either awful translation or man really loved run-on sentences.
