I like how its not just a horror novel: the book itself fucks with you in how its written.

Oh you're welcome!

The physical method of reading this book really drives home the narratives within narratives, the story within a story within a story perspective. It makes you feel like you're the 4th dimension after Johnny T taking your own trip down the rabbit hole of psychosis. I recommend starting this book on a rainy day without. Aim for 8 hours of uninterrupted reading, you won't regret it ;)

Oh that is a great tip!

Just watched your review, too. Excellent! I've wondered why I would do this to myself -- this seems like something only a crazy person would read. But you managed to make me curious ... hmm, I may have to give it a chance, maybe a bookshop perusal first. Happy New Year!

I know, it's been a while since my brain was in a state to deal (and crave) such a book. It is an understaking. Happy New Year to you too!

This books looks so confusing, it's a labyrinth of words.

that looks so confusing! but at the same time it makes me want to read it even more.. (will have to wait for a when i have more time to spend on it though..)

I’ve always wanted to read a book that made me feel like I was playing DDLC again

Yes, plan that going in and it will be less frustrating that it can't be rushed in a week.

this has elevated my curiosity about this book and at the same time irreparably intimidated me. it seems like this would be such a massive commitment, but hey, ive read It by Stephen King, one of the most complex stories i have ever experienced, 2 times, so why shouldnt i be able to read this once? im also in the mood to be terrified by a book soon!

I don’t believe I have the full colored addition but I could be wrong because it’s buried on my book shelves somewhere. I absolutely love the format of the book but I’m so intimidated by it so I’ve had it for a good 15 years and still haven’t read it. 🙄😂📚

I can fully understand. It has its ups and downs and you must be in the mood for the weirdness of the writing and stretches of boring analysis. Still worth it.

I started with the kindle and then I bought the books. The kindle is an easy read

it's KZread being annoying. I uploaded this video in 2013 as unlisted and discovered today by accident that it was still unlisted. But since annotations won't work anymore I just set it to public, without knowing KZread would push it out to my subscribers. This is a companion video to my review of House of Leaves which I read in 2013. Sorry for the confusion.
