I just felt the need to needlessly announce that I just got home from the library. And in my hands is the gorgeous beast called House of Leaves.

Don't ruin anything, please, if you talk about the book.

Hooray.

I stole a copy off of a friend, a while back, and have since read it twice. It's the sort of book that is a DEFINITE good find, and when you get it... well, you'll either love it or hate it, and I'm guessing you'll love it.

Enjoy. Smile

Well I am breathing contradiciton to your statement. I definitely didnt love the book nor did I wish to burn it i.e. I didnt hate it. I only found it rather boring and unexciting. Well reasearched and thought out but poorly presented. BTW, I predict a mas take over of this thread by Xchuck.

The book is a masterpiece, and this is not debatable.

One day I'm gonna get to rewrite Stephen King's "Misery," with the main characters being XChuck and Mark D. Dowbrowsziowski.

"Numbah... won... Ima youre numbah... one fann..."

It'll be fun. I'm sure.

My name is XChucl? How strange. I never noticed it before. Hmmm... Anyway, I don't really want my legs broken. Is there anyway I can prevent this?

No, no, no. You silly, stupid little old man!

I love you anyway. I will explain:

1. Your real name is Typo McClearly. We call you XChuck, which is pronounced XChucl in Bangladesh.

2. YOU break Mark Darknogonomonopia's legs, then hold him up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, and make him write, "House of Our Love," a sequel, all about YOU and he, in the book I'll have to start writing pretty soon. You would understand that this is the basic plot of Stephen King's "Misery," if you read more than your pretend boyfriend's little House of Book.

That's all. No biggie. I admire your open gay relationship you have with the famous author guy. That Viagra's pretty bad ass, huh old man? Hugs!

PS - Can someone please post the Richard Simmons, "This thread is GAY" banner in here? Please? Thank you!

Mark isn't my "boyfriend"! Brad Pitt is! Just like Rents' man-crush on... Renton, I have a man-crush on Brad Pitt.

If this is our thread, do you wanna, like, hang out and watch some musicals later? Then... oh, wait. You're like a kid and stuff.

So, do you wanna move to a country where the gay boy trade isn't frowned upon like it is here? Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Okay, now i don't wanna sleep with you so much.

I have a HUGE library, may more than I'll ever need. So I just give shit away all the time. Unless it's uber-rare (my Lincoln bio written by Dale Carnagie, I've got an old Navy boxing manaul that once belonged to Bruce Lee, any of my books printed in the late 1800's), or I'm currently reading it, if you come over and you want it, it's yours.

Why? Karma! No joke, for all the stuff I've given away, 10fold more comes back to me.

So relax, guy. Loosen up. Take a hot bath or something.

K? Y? Because it feels good. Wink

Actually, most of my books, I got off second-hand book stores. (I have several bookshelves full.)

Is the book good? IS THE BOOK GOOD? OF COURSE IT IS! IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER MADE! I felt the same way about Chuck... until I read HOL. Seriously, at some point in your life, READ HOUSE OF LEAVES!

I unfortunately have barely started, as I've had a busy weekend.

This thread is MAD weird!
