I read House of Leaves last year and it was interesting. It was a good story and I enjoyed following footnotes to footnotes and tracing them back and turning the book and figuring out the hidden message. I have S. I'm waiting to read it since there isn't a whole lot of ergodic stuff. I'm excited. I should have bought The Unfortunates when it was available on Amazon, but it hasn't been available for some time. $50 for a used copy on Ebay seems a bit much. Infinite Jest was basically ergodic with all the end notes flipping back and forth, plus the vocabulary. Something Happened also requires a bit of traversal with long and sometimes nested parentheticals. I remember coming to an closing parentheses one day when I had read the opening parenthesis the previous day. I spent 10 minutes scanning backwards to find the matching parentheses to figure out the beginning of the sentence was that the parenthetical was in. |
