What do you guys thing about Danielewski's House of Leaves?

>> No.9625058

Insanely overrated meme book. Danielewski pioneered viral marketing.

Good mid act, but the Johnny Truant stuff was so unbelievably shit

The only people it impresses are people who don't read all that much.

Great book that is at it's heart a strange love story.

Took an interesting structural idea so far past the point of arcane graphic masturbation that I would feel violated just having one on my shelf.

Danielewski is the dollar-store version of Georges Perec.

Did I waste money by buying this? Is it worth at least reading once?

You may as well since you bought it but it's not very good. Skip the shit with the tattoo apprentice faggot and you will be better for it

If the formatting was less spastic, it would be considered a modern classic

I have the same dilemma. I bought the physical copy but when I open the book it just makes me feel dizzy and discouraged to even look at it.
