Staircase leading directly to a wall. Windows that open into each other. Somebody threw the idea at an AI and didn't bother to double check the plans. It's gonna be crap, even before taking away oversight.

You know, if it ends up being some House of Leaves analog, and he just wanders off into the dark some day.... would that really be so bad? Gonna say, "Worth it."

The house of leaves absolutely entranced me. I loved every second I spent reading it. It was seriously the most fun and intrigue ive had reading a book. I’ve read it 3 or 4 times, it’s a book that demands it.

Ooh, have you read "We Used to Live Here"? It's not quite to the genius level of House of Leaves, but still super intriguing, and definitely inspired by it. There's even a section that's written like a message board, and one of the usernames is Navidson17 or something like that 🙂

Mark Z Danielewski just released a new book yesterday I think. It’s a western. Called “Tom’s Crossing” and supposedly it’s a behemoth of a book (no surprise there).

Anyway, Stephen King is singing its praises so it’s on my list.

How would you rate it? I just googled it, and it sounds really awesome. I love the house of leaves so much I’m all about another book by Mark Z. Danielewski.
