you do not read this book.
You w a t c h it.
On your own blog under the heading "VIDEO" post or link a video that is a visual of The House of Leaves. You can be literal and post a blog of Mark Danielewski reading from his book or you could be figurative and find a clip that relates to the book in some way.
After you post it or link to it, then I want you to write a paragraph where you explain why you chose your video.

I chose the video for the sole fact that it was a trailer & it gave slight clues on maybe how to read the novel itself. The way it scrolls from scene to scene explains how confusing the book actually can be if you dont read it exactly. It is eccentric to no avail, but that is what the allure is. You want to know what it is about & it keeps you guessing on what it is.

"It is eccentric to no avail,"
Is this how you read the novel as well? Kind of cool but not much substance?
Nice video, its the actual trailer to the movie probably would have been a safer bet than trying to read this on the train looking like an actual wack job. Flipping the book and looking like I don't know what I'm reading... Interesting...
I did read this book on the train/ferry and lemme tell ya I was getting looks like I was a wack job. I think calling it eccentric to no avail may be a little harsh, but that's just me.
