1. House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski

I need to look this up. People kept recommending it to me. And then they stopped. Perhaps because they gave me up as a lost cause.

Well, he is a fanatic type person who wants it in every release ever made. I would suggest you read it, actually, it is an experience... I am probably not easily frightened though, it wasn't scary at all. A bit on the odd side, though.

He wants what in every release ever made?


heartbreak wants house of leaves in every different printing with every different cover with every different etc...

5. Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

Is it better than the Baroque Cycle?

Yes. At least IMO. Not quite as many annoying side characters. Might be better if you were a little nerdier, though. Run it by Tor first?

Hey now. I am plenty nerdy. Hmphf.


Right I should be more specific. I meant numbers and computers nerdy. A dash of WW2 fangirl is to be recommended too.
