I have to chime in on the House of Leaves love - a friend handed it to me and said she never wanted it back, and I thought, oh my.
A week later, I totally understood. AHH. Freaky. AHHH. The Dionaea House is a pretty good pastiche/homage.
The funniest thing about HOL is how the most random people will recommend it to you. One day, I was waiting for my breakfast tacos in the drive thru of a Mexican restauraunt when the guy taking my money spotted a book I was reading on the seat next to me and said, "Hey, have you heard of this book called "House of Leaves"? You should read it. It fucked my shit up but good."
Yes, it's the book so weirdly compelling strangers tell you to read it.
