I don't need to read shitty novels.

I'm way more intelligent than your ass by just browsing a few pages of Wikipedia.

In other words you're a pseudo-intellectual.

that kind of thing is better suited for a movie, I think

It really is. If this were a movie, it would be so incredible, but the book isn't.


I started to read House of Leaves, my friend was explaining it and I noticed that it's much like The Lion, the Wtich, and the Wardrobe. Of course I said this jokingly.

But really this book is awesome, the way the book looks, and presents itself, makes it seem like a very very true story. Citations of people who never lived, quotes that never have been said, and talking about movies that never existed. I'm only about 20 pages in though. Not only does the book have lots of pages but it also has large pages.

I used to think that novels were shitty. I was just reading the wrong ones. There is some extremely creative and awesome pieces of work out there. You don't have to look too hard to find it either.

If you were really smart, you wouldn't spend so much time bragging about it to people on the internet.

Instead of sleep I read House of Leaves for about 5 hours.

This is the most beautiful book I've ever read. It's like reading five different novels at once. Sometimes it's a horror story, sometimes it's a love story, sometimes it's an in depth informative article, and sometimes it's just about some guy getting his dick sucked.

I'm finally getting to the cool text and weird things Mark Z. Danieleski does with the format (at about page 130 or so). He uses such cool ass words I've never heard of before. My favorite so far is "tenebrific" meaning "producing darkness."


Has anyone heard of or read Only Revolutions? I haven't but I looked into it. He wrote it so carefully, he never once uses the word "or" because of significance I don't yet know of. As well as the obvious upside down, right side up use of words. Each page has exactly 180 words on it, and the book totals to 360 pages.

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

I've been reading It's Kind Of A Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

It's actually a really enjoyable book, I relate a lot to Craig Gilner (The Main Character).

Also, It's the first book I've had to use context clues to find out what they mean.

I finished A Separate Peace yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I had first said, but it could have been better. I thought it was pretty confusing, though.

I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird for school

Still reading House of Leaves. On page 500 or so, this book is so awesome. Some parts drag on about scientific research done to the house, or details about a small detail. I  hate that I have to read it but I like that it's there, I mean this is probably the best put together book I've ever read or seen.

The way the book is presented, it seems as if it is all facts.

[spoiler]I just got to the part on how Will Navidson just reached light inside of the house[/spoiler]


Though parts of the book get pretty confusing pretty fast, it's an excellent book. When the main charater Will is in a tight spot, so are the words on the page. It can be pretty tough to read these parts but thats the point.

If the character is falling or climbing, so are the words you're reading. I hope to finish it tonight.



My friend let me borrow two books:

The Stranger by Albert Camus
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

I plan on reading these two then probably some Philip K Dick stories.

The lack of an apostrophe in "its" makes me die a little bit on the inside.

My friend Kevin has it. It's mildly amusing, but not really worth a buy if you ask me.

I just finished House of Leaves.

My copy contains The Whalestoe Letters, it's 80 pages of letters that have to do with the book. The first copies of House of Leaves didn't contain these I suppose.
