House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski
I wouldn't say this is a book, so much as an experience.
Much of this text is not in the traditional format. Which at first I thought would be annoying. Turning the book around in a circle to read a for a moment.
Side note, there is a 'soundtrack' to the book created by POE, who is actually Mark's sister. It is actually how I found the book.
Quote:
As Navidson investigates this phenomenon, he finds that the internal measurements of the house are somehow larger than external measurements.

Thanks Wikipedia!
So anyway. Yes there is a house, that is bigger on the inside. I would say this is a story about the house. But that would be leading you down a 'five and half minute hallway, that keeps going...'
Honestly there is nothing I can say that will prepare you for this book.
I tried to read this book almost 10 times before I actually got into it and finished it and I wondered what took me so long. I guess it's a slow start. But a grand book nonetheless.
If I could choose any book to get a first edition of... this would be on the top of that list.
I've been in the hospital for a month!
Pneumonia. Complications and chest tubes.
