I read the summary for House of Leaves yesterday, and God DAMN does it sound dumb. Every time the Word "House" Shows up, it's in Blue. References are in "Red"
Is he color coding the book to piss me off?! And dont even get me started on the "plot" of this so called "book".

I literally cannot describe what a massive "mindfuck" this book is. It's either a massive mindfuck, or just a guy trying to pin stories together in an attempt to be creative.
I'm leaning towards the latter of the two.

It may be a massive pretenious mindfuck, the Johnny Traunt's story (which is told through footnotes) is either about having sex/ rambling like Holden Caulfield, and the whole color coding is just self-indulgence.
Still, what it did with the book format is groundbreaking to say the least, the amount of effort put into making seemingly ethentic information is staggering, and the plot is a breath of fresh air to me.
That's just me. If you don't like, you're entitled to that. I personally feel that Battle Royale sucks (ESPECIALLY THE MANGA. FOR THE LOVE OF BILL COSBY, DON'T F***ING READ THAT). But I thought it is still a masterpiece
Oh and it's Minotaur that's in red. And any references to King Minos, or the Labyrinth are in red and crossed out. Self-indulgence is the key word.

This is why i've learned to avoid books. Or read non-controversial ones

Actually. It turns out that it just reds and outlines words at random after they leave the house and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX as well.
It really gets hard to read.
