“House of Leaves” is a book I’ve been wanting for ages but never got around to it - I remember starting it once about ten years ago, but I’ve found it’s the kind of book that is best read in one go with very little distractions. After a friend suggested we read it together I turned off my phone and read it over the Easter holidays.

I had a blast reading it - it is very clever and knows it, but it manages not to be annoying. It’s unsettling and ends up blurring reality for the reader in a very intriguing way. It’s a book that rewards thinking about it and prodding it repeatedly (or, from what I gleaned online, decoding it) while also being a rewarding read in itself.
