Is House of Leaves good? It's been sitting on my shelf for ages
yeah it rules. weird horror-ish book that goes places
It's one of my favorites. It came out when I was in my late teens and working at a library, and it really knocked my socks off with its presentation and style. You have to read the physical book, though. So much of the vibe of the story is relayed in the way the words are arranged on the page, which is very often decidedly non-standard.
It's extremely fun if you have the patience for it. You'll especially enjoy it if you have experience with and/or enjoy reading academic texts, because the format of the book (and the frame story) plays around with footnotes, endnotes, citations, and references quite a lot. Go into it like you're reading a Serious Academic Work and do all the things you'd usually do with that (margin notes, cross-referencing different mentions of similar ideas, etc.) and it's especially rewarding. Even without all that stuff, though, it's a banger of a horror-romance.
Skip to the end first and read maybe half of the sections before tossing it aside to read the conclusions sections of exactly 1/3 of its own citations?
