I suggested we read House of Leaves in English, so I lent the book to my teacher... About a week later she handed it back and was just like, "No." [She meant it in a good way, it's just TOO complex.]
venomsugar lol "too complex" it's really not compared to trying to read all the old English books we had to read such as Beowulf, Canterbury tales, and Shakespeare.
I'm 24 pages into each side at the moment and I've already spent ages looking up all the historical references, was surprised to find I actually knew more of it than I realised, like the 'bystander effect' rape and murder
Got halfway through this and realized it's not about House of Leaves
thank you haha saves me time and disappointment !
Yeah, at 4:15 is when I realized.
Danielewski is amazing... I admire his work so much. I can analyze Only Revolutions and House of Leaves for days and still barely scratch the surface.
Wow, this man is such a genius. What an incredibly unconventional and brilliant idea...
"Alright! Questions?"
"How did you write it"
"AUGH"
You can tell that in his head he went AH SHIIIIIIIIT

I was thinking of doing the same(I’m 16, after the second page I regretted telling her I would lend her it.)

Surprisingly pragmatic for someone who basically had sex with my brain.
listened to the end of this and immediately yelled HOLY SHIT.
I wanna know, what fuckin computer program(s) he used to write House of Leaves. Microsoft word doesn't let you type in a spiral.
he used QuarkXPress 4.1 [*]

@windinhishair10 Hell, he's not Johnny, he's the ol' Zampanò himself.
"I gave up everything......" love it
What a professional.
I think Only Revolutions only resonates on a subconscious level. For I didn't understand any of it, but it slumbers in my mind as if it were a virus.
i read it twice then again....and again...bllaaahhhh!!!!
Awesome!
Leader of a new generation
Unfortunately, this generation doesn’t care much for these things, at least where I’m from.(I’m 16)
FTW?! I think he IS Johnny Truant
Nope...if he's anything...he's the house itself.
Must have driven the type-setters mad....
Lol he was thinking of Stephen King with his opening statement.
I guessed he used _Adobe Indesign._
That's awesome haha
@rawkz0rz No, it was Columbia University in New York.
How did he write it? One word at a time...
@Fendertastic BAHAHAHAHA EXACTLY
lol same
not out of touch at all. I agree.
bad
