IF 👏 YOU 👏 DIDN'T 👏 READ 👏 THE 👏 FOOTNOTES 👏 YOU 👏 HAVEN'T 👏 READ 👏 HOUSE 👏 OF 👏 LEAVES 👏 (you have read The Navidson Record)
#niche hill perhaps but i will die on it#occasionally i see someone saying otherwise and i become absolutely incensed but then i remember they haven't even fucking read the book#like yeah I'm sorry half the book is in footnotes that's simply how it's formatted#the footnotes are the SOUL of the book they are literally WHY YOU SHOULD CARE#house of leaves =!= the navidson record house of leaves is ABOUT the navidson record and how it affected JOHNNY THE PROTAGONIST OF THE BOOK#i've thought about it and it's more respectable (and you'd come closer to reading the book) to skip the 'main text'#and ONLY read the 'footnotes'#not saying you should do that#but if you're only going to read half of it that is the more important half#lavender thoughts#house of leaves#it's okay to only read the navidson record just don't say you've read house of leaves#HOUSE OF LEAVES is a story about a guy going insane while reading a horror story you're just also privy to the horror story in question#this is so you can truly experience going insane with him and not because it is particularly important in its own right#it's good sure#but it's just a horror story after all
