Calc 01.26.23	have fun reading that long ass list of things that should be in a house but may or not actually be in a house
Ryus 01.26.23	for some reason i thought u meant leaves of grass and got excited
Sharenge 01.26.23	need to finish it some day... third times a charm
Borracho 01.26.23	more gimmick than book
evilford 01.26.23	@ borracho that's what I've gathered tbh
Sharenge 01.26.23	rude
Manatea 01.26.23	Tried to read that book like six times and failed miserably.
zakalwe 01.26.23	The underlying secret hidden within this book is to flush it down the bog for an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Zig 01.26.23	modern classic
Vinnymcscoop 01.26.23	I heard the book is tricky to read because of the wacky and random formats But tbh, that book would get me into reading for the first time since Diary of a Wimpy Kid (An all American classic)
YoYoMancuso 01.26.23	^ bro has the cheese touch
Vinnymcscoop 01.26.23	Not anymore, I gave it to Zig I got my fingers crossed
brainmelter 01.26.23	I will admit half way through it kind of turns into an endurance test because of how schizophrenic the formatting gets but it’s really good and worth the read for the experience alone. The Johnny character is kind of annoying though but it makes sense later I guess
Calc 01.26.23	one of the authors other books I think it's called only revolutions is way way harder to read. Its written in like this weird creole dialect and you gotta turn the book upside down and backwards n shit every few pages to keep up with the story from both character's perspectives. or you can read the story from one character's angle and read it again from the other's
Borracho 01.26.23	or you can just write a good book
pjquinones747 01.26.23	"I will admit half way through it kind of turns into an endurance test because of how schizophrenic the formatting gets but it’s really good and worth the read for the experience alone. The Johnny character is kind of annoying though but it makes sense later I guess" similar experience here except i didn't survive the endurance test beyond the schizophrenic portion after long enough. good luck my friend! it is a fucking wild read.
thecheatisnotdead 01.26.23	Took me a couple tries (and doing it with a bookclub of close friends keeping each other on pace/accountable) to finally finish the damn thing, but I'd say it's worth it. Definitely pretty dense, and inarguably up its own ass, but there are some sincerely beautiful and chilling moments in there, and surprisingly well-drawn characters that emerge from all the formatting silliness and frame-narrative-upon-frame-narrative jargon.
gschwen 01.26.23	The ending of the in-story narrative about the house was very satisfying for me when I read it 20 years ago. I think it’s a great book but could understand why people wouldn’t have patience for its formatting, and tbh it’s dry as hell for most of it.
loulou 01.28.23	This is one of my favorite books ever!
Sharenge 01.28.23	yeah even though I put it down twice now (it's just like in the book!) and the furthest I've gotten is like maybe halfway give or take (also it's kind of hard to tell with this book), I definitely wouldn't write it off... actually really need to get around to attempt number three this year
90m80s 06.14.23	read it back in 06, completely, ever single footnote, will never read it again, good tho
asanisimasa 06.14.23	great book; i keep pushing off getting into his familiar series
YoYoMancuso 06.14.23	i just remembered how fucking infuriating it was trying to read the Minotaur chapter
90m80s 06.14.23	book didnt make me mad at all. other than the tedium of flipping back and forth pages constantly, i thought it was enjoyable enough of an experience to read. kinda gimmicky i guess looking back.
