This is by far, one of the most interesting and bizarre books I have ever read. Although long, and sometimes, difficult to understand and get through, I think it would be an unbelievable book to read for this forum. My vots is most certainly for House of Leaves.

Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it.
