Mark Danielewski: that’s cute
This is a reference to the book, House of Leaves~§~ by Mark Z. Danielewski.
§panda_abyss, in his seminal work on referring to House of Leaves, mentions this reference in the Lemmy~†~ Thread "3. DFW 4. ibid".
† I used to work as a tattoo artist you know.
This book was a serious adventure to read the first time.
We truly are in the year of the disposable adult undergarment.
Terry Pratchett: Hold. My. Beer
The Denephew joke remains one of my all time favourites, and it was a footnote to a footnote.
Trying to explain something but I have ADHD
loved it when pratchett did it tho
Man did that dude need an editor who could stand up to him.
That said still liked infinite jest. His college graduation speech is also pretty good. Other stuff was hit or miss.
I really need to continue Infinite Jest. It took me ages to read like 60 pages.
It's worth the exercise IMO. Was in a similar boat, then picked it back up after a year and a bit and finished it. I was happy I did, it's a great book.
That said, if it doesn't grab you, it doesn't grab you. Nothing at all wrong with that, and it's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
I’ve honestly been loving it so far! It’s just a much more dense read than my last book hahaha
Nonfiction is his best work.
Me, but with em dashes and parenthesis.
Freaking loved his works.
