    I'm quite far into the book but I'm still not sure which map to refer to. Did I miss when it was confirmed in the book which of the maps were right? I've been referring to peter's so far but it feels inconsistent with some parts of the story

  • House of Leaves
    Goncharov

    Were you guys on Tumblr in 2022? Do you remember Goncharov? The internet took this bootleg boot label

    goncharov

    that referenced a movie that did not exist, and started talking about the movie as though it were real, complete with a plot and cast that everyone somehow agreed upon without discussion, including gifsets, literary analysis, fanfics, the position of Goncharov in the greater conversation of media etc.

    It was so much fun, absolutely a highlight in the history of the internet. Anyway I can't help but compare the Navidson Project to the way Goncharov was discussed on Tumblr. I checked and Danielewski posted about Goncharov while it was happening (specifically someone's post intentionally referencing House of Leaves) so I'm glad he knows about it.

  • welcome march! 💐✨️

    We're in March now! (or just about depending on your time zone!) and i think February was a great reading month for me, i think i'll most likely slow down after that 🤣 But ! at the beginning of February, i made a similar post to this one, asking how our January reading went ! so im here to ask how February went for everyone ?

    I use the pagebound plan feature to kind of curate books i most Definitely want to read that month and then leave myself room for some others outwith the plan 🙂‍↕️ So February, i had planned 8 books, out of those 8 i read 7 and dnf'd only 1! very very happy 🐈 I've already got my reading plan sorted for this month and have started on Blood over bright haven to get me into march!

    How did everyone elses reading go? Did you manage as much as you expected, or did you find yourself taking it a bit slower? 💐 Do you have any plans for specific books to read this month? ✨️

    ︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶

    A small comment game if you want to engage this way!

    How many books did you read in February ? Use your appointed heart emoji in your comment! 🤍 1-10 💛 11-20 🧡 21-30 💜 31-40 💚 41-50 ❤️ 51-60 (i refuse to go any higher than this bc omg? if u did? ur a god? how did u do that? at this point just use 🤯 bc i am mindblown)

    The Unpopular Opinion Thread🔥

    ​What is that ONE "top-tier" classic or viral bestseller that everyone else loves, but for you, it was a total 1-star read? ⭐️ ​ Tell me why (and please don't kill me in the comments) 🛡️🙏😅

    Edit #1: Thank you for all your replies. Much appreciated ❤️ Thank you for sharing, it’s been so much fun connecting with all your diverse reading tastes✨📖

    ​Edit #2: Friendly reminder: This isn't about shaming authors. It’s just a safe space to show it’s okay if a "bestseller" doesn't click for you/us 💛
