    Well I haven't finished the book yet, but I do keep it close to me and the more and more I read the more and more I feel the need to tell people about it.

      Exactly..I kept showing everyone around me how cool the lay out of the novel is.Plus I tell everyone they should read it then am very hesitant to lend it out.

            I'm reading it for the second time now and have found that the book definitely spills over into the real world. The first time I read it, I was in a new house and my room kept shaking for no reason. It was very creepy until I found out that it was built on faulty foundations and every time someone ran up or down the stairs, the house would shake.

              There certainly is a strong connection for me, I read this book when it first was published and it still huants me. Its one of the best books I have read and I believe resonates with some sort of latent power. Not only in an emotional way, as any good book would but on a subconcious level it taps into the collective fears and anxieties of the human condition.
              Any one heard the Poe album that goes with it?
              It's really good to.

                i know every lyric on poes album "haunted", it made the book far more intense. max, i can't describe the book better than you, so i will not try. i tell everyone to read it (get their own copy, mine doesn't leave my sight) and listen to the album. its kind of like a good trip, no matter how hard you try you can never go back to seeing life the exact way you once thought it should be. it opens your mind.

                  Yes. I must admit I have read a fair amount of books from all kinds of genre's but House of Leaves is unique. The album is fantastic as well, i am not sure how their creators relate but I think it's brother and sister.
