House of Leaves

I'll be honest, I'm not much of a reader.
But this book.....this book right here.....is amazing. I can't even explain it, but it will suck you in and never let you go. You'll read it, say "What the fuck did I just read?" and then read it again. It will always keep you thinking.

I'll let Wikipedia explain it:

"House of Leaves begins with a first-person narrative by Johnny Truant, a Los Angeles tattoo parlor employee. Truant is searching for a new apartment when his friend Lude tells him about the apartment of the recently deceased Zampanò, a blind, elderly man who lived in the same building as Johnny's friend, Lude.

In Zampanò's apartment, Truant discovers a manuscript written by Zampanò that turns out to be a very academic study of a documentary film called The Navidson Record.

The rest of the novel alternates between Zampanò's report on the fictional film, Johnny's autobiographical interjections, a small transcript of part of the film from Navidson's brother, Tom, a small transcript of interviews to many people regarding The Navidson Record by Navidson's partner, Karen, and occasional brief notes by unidentified editors, all woven together by a mass of footnotes. There is also a fourth narrator, Johnny's mother, whose voice is presented through a self-contained set of letters titled The Whalestoe Letters. Each narrator's text is printed in a distinct font, making it easier for the reader to follow the occasionally challenging format of the novel."

No description can really explain what reading the book is like, you just have to experience it for yourself.

Yeah, I need to get this back from you, I still need to read it! Jerk!

No way.
You'll never get it back, nor will the library. =D

I returned "Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets" to my Elementary School earlier this year. I took it out when I was in 3rd Grade. It was 7 years overdue.

Hahahaha, did the librarian say anything to you?
Or did you just drop it off and run?

She was like "Tyler! What are you doing here?, It's been a long while since I've seen you."

"Oh I'm just returning this book."

"Harry Potter?"

"Yeah, it's about 7 years overdue, Bye now"

She looked really flabbergasted.

Can I have the book?

I'll read it fast as a speeding bullet.

=) I pwomise.
