Message: [QUOTE="Facesforce, post: 231067, member: 25657"] Ah yes, House of Leaves. It's one of those books that you start out thinking it's smart, you get part way and start reading the latin and German sections, just to realize the author messed up the translation. You think it's a mistake, but you then realize that it's a character in the book writing stuff down in German and latin, so it's not their mistake, it's your mistake. And honestly, I don't like that defense that the author hides in the book. Or many of his personal opinions he hides in the present day section. I'll be honest, I have only gotten half way into the novel. It's really exhausting to read. I mostly leave it on my coffee table as a conversation piece these days. The formatting can be summed up pretty easily: The author wrote 3 books, a couple of poems and short stories and then cut them up together in a scattershot method. Anything about the house is great, anything about the present day mc kind of sucks. It's kind of a mixed bag book for me so far. Which is a shame, because I thought I enjoy it more. House.wad is a technical masterpiece considering it's running in the doom engine. I always am amazed by it. [/QUOTE]
