I appreciate the guide though I'm also deeply offended you don't know who Charlie Kelly is 😂

5 star book❤❤❤❤

1: You *need* a physical copy of the book for the full experience. 2: POE's second album, 'Haunted', is a companion piece made for the book by the author's sister, and enhances the overall trip. 3: At your own discretion, being in an altered state of mind can also add to the fun.

Great video, thanks much!

Everything's good but I have a question 🙂 in the first story Fumiko could have called Goro! It would have been less risky : )

What !! U recommend reading 1. Zampano's Dissertation on the Navidson Record & 2. Johnny Truant's narration. But you totally Left out : 3. Pelafina's letters The letters are so.. So.. Important. They are reason for this Book's existence itself !!

Good review. I am blind so visually organization is not my strength. Do you know of asoftware that has a simple interface and screen reader friendly?

I really enjoyed Johnny's parts. It's a nice break from the dry academic style that some of the Navidson Record has. Also, don't be discouraged, it's not an easy read, but it's not as dense as it seems. Take away the formatting on the text and the index and you have maybe 50% or less of what would otherwise be around 700 pages. Also, this book has pictures and that's just awesome. I never considered reading it other than in a conventional way, reading the foot notes as well along the way. It's definitely doable.

You would get more drama if you kept the reversed card instead of flipping them right side up ;)

Please don't set up the expectation that readers won't understand everything because you didn't, it takes work, active participation, creativity and multiple reads, but everything is in the pages and can be taken in as a complete narrative with no unanswered queries 🙂

Such a shame I found it’s just impossible to get The unfortunates

What a lovely trip! I always love going to Maastricht, because it feels like I've gone abroad in my own country

I just finished this book, what a treat, the author is super talented. Yes 5 star. All the themes explored was amazing .

I trust google as far as i can push a freight train.

great it Helps!

I I would really like to know the ISBN, please.

Huh, I found it really enjoyable, not hard to read at all, and I'm not smart. Maybe the more comfortable you are with being confused the easier ti will be to read :P

wild that you said “sticky notes all over the wall” because my dining room wall is currently covered in sticky notes for my novel 😅

woah, those Shakespeare editions are so beautiful!! And the bookstore looks so nice, I'd love to visit it too one day. A charming city, looks so cozy.

Such a cool little city. Awesome bookstore and vlog!

Glad to know theres a Strat for reading house of leaves

Such a cute city. I'd love to see someplace like that someday.

I read this book right after it came out. If you want another layer. Listen to his sister’s song Haunted - by Poe. Anne Decatur Danielewski. This won’t make sense unless you’ve read the book.

Omg is revenge the short story collection by Yoko ogawa???!!! I thought I saw a clip of it.

I am 300 pages in . It is brilliant . I have cried laughed felt anxious and fear .

I read Lake Lore recently and I loved it. One of the Main characters has ADHD and the other is Dyslexic

This girl went to the man’s job, screaming at him a bunch of sexual remarks, and somehow she is the victim?

imma read it tomorrow yippie

I'm picturing Bradley Cooper's character in "Silver Linings Playbook" yeeting that book straight out the window!

Convoluted and pretensions seems to sum up this book. Rather like a not so fun Choose Your Own Adventure but you won't understand what is going on no matter what you do.

If you liked house of leaves, check out Dhalgren by Samuel Delaney.

The unfortunate is unavailable and when you can buy it, it’s overly expensive

Speaking of not knowing how one of these books would work as an audiobook...House of Leaves is available on KINDLE which really confuses me about how that would work.

This book was so great. I’m still thinking about Peter when he said to Kira “you moved to bear town for me I can move anywhere for her (Maya)” omg 🥺🥺🥺

All’s Well is also my first book from Mona Awad. I started Bunny a few years ago but didn’t quite grabbed my attention like ALLS WELL 😍

I think what you really mean is "bait and switch", Emily. As a first time viewer I learned a lot about book writing in general, however. PS I subscribed.

I have 58 books and I have read 51 of them. I don't want to buy new books until I have finished those remaining 7... unlike some people who just buy books for the aesthetic

This is a good video. I read this book when it came out. I felt the same way you did while reading it. Back then there was a HoL forum that had all the content you were mentioning was in reddit. It was great that I had a friend reading it at the same time. We would discuss how we interpreted it as we went along.

She’s so bad omg

Has anyone ever told you that you look just like Mandy Moore. Like 'A Walk to Remember' Mandy Moore. Especially with that outfit on. I just wanted to say that. It's so adorable.

I see that you like fantasy, so I recommend "The Khazarian Dictionary, that's the name of the book, and if you liked House of Leaves, this one will blow your mind. The author is Milorad Pavic.

in my opinion, the whole labyrinth complex in the house is an allegory for the infinity of the human brain and the impossibility to investigate and explain it

i'm nervous because i'm going to read this in english and i'm not native, so it will be interesting

This book is on my TBR but I'm not sure I have enough brainpower for it 😅

Hey! What country r u from cox in my place the cover is not foiled for some reason…

You explain it really well. I'm glad I found your video, because as confusing as the book is, after I finished it I wanted to see what people said about it. I felt even more confused, like we read completely different books. I even wondered if different editions had different pages and passages in them. Some people saying they were afraid and couldn't sleep after reading, some people naming things I can't remember at all, wondering if I just glanced over it and missed it. Anyways. The whole time my head pounded, I needed to use multiple book marks to jump back and forth in the story and I kept complaining to my partner about it. He said if you're not enjoying it why are you still reading it. Which I had to explain I liked it and I was enjoying it, but it's sooo dense, both literally and figuratively. So yeah, I feel like we had a more similar experience and that is making me feel better and less crazy.
