Need Tips Regarding Reading Book

Post by Sweeet_Sixteeen »

Recently I have Got my Hand on the Book "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski and Its Mind Bending.
Its Genre is Psychological horror, Mystery and I love Reading those.

Well I Don't have problem with its Narrations style which is Multiple Layered.
but the Topography is weird because Some pages contain only a few words,
Others require turning the book sideways or upside down,
Text may spiral, scatter, or form unusual shapes and
Long passages may be interrupted by extensive footnotes that lead you elsewhere.

Any Suggestions How Can I Start reading IT ??

That is how its actually meant to be read. Its kinda a real world Lament Configuration. The book is as much a physical puzzle as it is a narration. Half the joy is figuring out how.

So no, I'm not going to spoil methods for you, only mention its one of those books that will take several tries, as you piece information together that makes sense on a re-read.
