I need to read that book again. It was scary, but I finished it utterly confused. I clearly missed a ton from the appendices.
Which book is this ?
House of Leaves, I believe
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
More like House of Leaves
What book is it?
House of Leaves maybe?
House of Leaves definitely.
House of leaves, perchance
House of Leaves I believe
Alright, thanks!
Oh, I just started reading that. Any tips?
Read each page from left to right, starting to the top.
Usually pretty good advice for a book but actually not helpful in this book.
The real answer is to read it however you want to explore it.
The one time ...
What if OP has a version translated into a right-to-left languages?
Did I stutter?
I don’t know, I was reading right to left
Don't expect too much to "happen" and just enjoy the vibes. I would say the book is primarily a character study.
Don't look up too much the first time reading it. Just enjoy the weird ride. Feel free to page over to the relevant appendices every now and then, although they didn't make a ton of sense to me. When you're done, check them out. Apparently there's various secret messages and stuff back there that reveal more of the story but like I said, I still need to figure them out myself lol. Once I finished the book my mind was too twisted up trying to figure it out to look into them, but I'll come back... one day.
I kind of found the book sort of teaches you how to read it if you pay attention to the structure in the first few bits. But multiple bookmarks can help.
