Alas, no roadtrips this week

I only wish we were off to [tag]Readercon[/tag], but it’s just not to be.

Speaking of books…Numerous [tag]artomatic[/tag] denizens recommended House of Leaves to me because they thought the [tag]antomatic[/tag] hallway was changing dimensions. (Thanks to Andrew and Jenn, who were among those who made the recommendation).

I bought the book back in March but just finally began to read it over the weekend. Now Husband has scooped it up and I notice his bookmark has inched past mine. I guess I should finish the other books I’m reading and wait to get [tag]House of Leaves[/tag] back when he’s done. Neither one of us has gotten terribly far with it yet, but we’re in agreement that it’s got a real H.P. Lovecraft meets James Joyce thing going for it.

(note: that link takes you to author [tag]Mark Z Danielewski[/tag]’s website, and you’ll have to do some clicking to get to the House of Leaves page).
