Yeah, I did read House of Leaves while listening to Poe -- the class I'm in is incredibly, uh, "up to date" on these things, so someone burned a copy of the CD for me and yeah, the whole experience is scaring the shit out of my sandbags, to borrow a phrase I heard last night. And just to prove that I've actually worked my way through this bizarre book, I know that the monologue on track #18 on the CD is one of the footnotes somewhere before page 168. It's the kind of book that gets into your dreams. A classmate who is farther along in it than I reported that Danielewski (that's the author, Poe's brother) actually predicted the terrorists attacks in this book. Whoa.
