Ramblings From Raxacoricofallapatorius

meagan-marie:

I just finished House of Leaves and found it both experiential & entertaining – an education on the fine line be[confusion & clarity]tween.

As someone whose career is built UPon the written word it was quite inspirational.

Challenging.

Preparing to put the book away I find my spatial awareness keener, & appear to be giving ordinary closets a      w  i  d  e      berth.

I expect these symptoms won’t last ____long____, as revisiting Danielewski’s disclaimer* provides me with the necessary reassurance.

     *“This book is a work of fiction.”

This is one of the best and most well written books I have ever read.
