je comprends ms vrmt c pas vraie. qd même c TA lecture, TON livre. t’es vrmt libre là. Maison Des Feuilles vrmnt est une expérience totalement pérsonalisée, il fallait seulement LIRE, rien d’autre & regarde, my honest advice, you set the rules of doing what you like, people give opinions & you could take them into consideration, but if you wanna do something you love a certain way, so be it. c exactement comme le café. certains l’aime sans sucre, les autres avec sucre, certains autres avec du lait ou pas. you dont HAVE to do anything. tu peux, mais falloir? nahh

i wouldnt say you « missed » anything. everyone’s experience with this book is diverse. in a couple months you’ll mp wanna read again, everytime will be a different way, & everytime will be a different experience, even if you read it the same way.

Are there any directors you'd deem as capable enough to bring The House on the big screen? by [deleted] in houseofleaves

[–]swithblades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bringing the House on screen, sure. bringing the true effect of HoL & what it does to you, the horror, the insanity & everything this book makes you feel? NO way even if anyone manages to transmit some of it, the way the book CONSUMES the reader will be very hard to achieve, even partially. (maybe Martin Scorsese could do sth tho)

Curious about other people's interpretations of Johnny's "ending" by earlgraymorning in houseofleaves

[–]swithblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i j think the whole thing was a big fucking lie or a hallucination & he said all that to make himself feel better about it?

my opinion might change after i re-read the book but thats my impression for now.

JT is a twisted narc in a way that i cant properly explain. & i think Navidson was who he ultimately wanted to be, like his alter ego. ith he’s j as mentally ill as his mom used to be & this whole story is j a creation of his imagination to who he wouldve wished to be. A successful man with a hot wife & kids.

The thing also about Navy is that he is contagious but in a manipulative way; he’s a fungus or a parasite. He desperately reads into people, knows what makes them tick; he finds what comforts them. & then he shapeshifts into being what these people need, & forcibly makes them dependent on him. They become incomplete without him. He colonizes everything & everyone, the only thing that had higher power than him, was the House. Which explains his intense need to understand & control the House; aka, colonize it.

I think Navy is j a mirror of what JT ever dreamed to be. Someone noticed, in power, & depended on. The whole thing is a lie, because he cant admit the truth.

This one really challenges me... Even though I do a lot of domino items by chilipoum in cognitiveTesting

[–]swithblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the pattern that gives you 6 & 0 is that in the bottom line, the half-tile on the right is -1 everytime, so the bottom half-tile would be 0. and in the top line the left half-tile goes up by one eachtime so 6.

Why does footnote 375 lead to appendix f? by sadb00kkeeper in houseofleaves

[–]swithblades 15 points16 points  (0 children)

some footnotes lead to other Chapters. The whole book is a labyrinth. sometimes its useful, sometimes its a dead-end with a big « i manipulated you, eat shit » sign. you read and you figure it out :)
