If you allow abortion then you must allow Nazis eating babies.

Haven’t started but I purchased a copy of House of Leaves recently which I’m excited to dive into. Anyone familiar?

I started it yesterday and have to force myself put it down it's so engrossing. Insanely well written and has that hard to pin down style that makes me love Sebald but in a different voice (or a couple).

Just finished it, what a ****ing experience. Loved the self reference and the footnote labyrinth in chapter nine as well as all of the word puzzles and red herrings that probably weren't red herrings. I want to read it again to try to decode it some more, really figure out if there's any meaning to those lists, find all of the connotations of k and x, dig into the Whalestone letters more, and see if there's a way to find the content of the burned pages based on the index or if there's some kind of other message tucked away there. Pretty late in the book, one of the footnotes referenced the community college that I went to and that made me feel like I was losing myself to the book like Johnny was, but I think that mostly came from how well this book puts you in the shoes of all of its narrators in both direct and indirect ways.

Up next: Contact by Carl Sagan

Is that the horror novel with the weird page design? I've been meaning to get into that.

Yeah you gotta like flip the book upside down at points and whatnot. Hoping its not just a gimmick. Many love the book but many hatebit as well

It's totally a gimmick but I've also heard that it's amazing.

@Mind I'm going to read The Yellow Wallpaper again to refresh my memory then we can talk bout it. Your essay is on the right track with the oppressive elements
