I Don’t Know How to Waste Time on the Internet Anymore
How far are you? Are you reading all of the footnotes? I am so confused about it all but I love it. It has really sparked a curiosity I haven't had in awhile.Btw, have you heard of the book Ship of Theseus? I bought it for my wife and we haven't jumped into it yet but seems similar in that it's a big puzzle: https://www.amazon.com/Ship-Theseus-J-Abrams/dp/0316201642 (and JJ Abrams if you're a fan)
⬐ eyeundersandI'm not OP, but I finished House of Leaves a year back and you definitely want to read the footnotes and everything else that Danielewski (or Zampano, if you like) has put on there.It really is a terrific book.
⬐ cityzenI am definitely reading them but some of them are just references to news stories or articles that I just skim. Not sure if I'm meant to be digging deeper with those.the nonlinear aspect of it all is wonderful.

How J.J. Abrams Created a Reading Experience Unlike Any Other
It amazes me that they could make it in bulk for $20 (https://www.amazon.com/Ship-Theseus-J-Abrams/dp/0316201642).Among the pages are cards and other items that the two fictional readers shared or saved.
⬐ aidenn0The Cover price is $40; typically publishers charge half of the cover to retailers; amazon either cut a deal or is taking razor thin margins on that.⬐ morschHow well does the Kindle adaptation work, I wonder.(Also, thinking this would make a nice parent for my father, but the German edition was a limited run; $130 used, $180 new, jeez.)
⬐ tim333There doesn't seem to be a Kindle version.⬐ braindoucheThere isn't a kindle version. There is an iPad App version that I can recommend highly.
