This should go without saying, but beating a dead horse can be fun sometimes: House of
Leaves will always be my go-to recommendation. Unhinged fiction tends to be my niche.
Give me a book that does something weird, something with an interactive factor
involved, and I won’t think about anything else for at least three times as long as it took me
to get through it, which means I was legally required to be obsessed with HoL for three
years past my initial completion. Which was 6 years ago. Now it’s just for fun.
However, people look at me like I’m insane when I recommend Danielewski, so we have to
build up to him at this point.
It’s good to set a baseline for my interests… right?
Love of love written by the broken hearted, love of life written by the dead.
