I always enjoyed the ideas expressed in House of Leaves a little more than the actual execution. My favorite detail was the difference in measurement between the house inside and the house outside. I believe the original measured discrepancy was less than an inch, a very subtle and unsettling hint at the dimensional peculiarities the reader encounters later in the story. I also recall reading some speculation at one point that the physical book itself was formatted to look larger on the inside than its external dimensions.

I absolutely love House of Leaves. It reminds me of some themes in This House Has People In It from Adult Swim and roachprophets.net. Great article
Thank you for this!!!
