Caroline’s comments from the House of Leaves Read-along! group.

I finished it last night (this morning?) at 4am!
As a whole, the book wasn't anything I'd expected. I think it was absolutely brilliant.

How are y'all feeling? Baby steps!

Whoa! What page is "house" in black? I must have missed that.
Also ran into a friend in a bar tonight who informed me he's reading HOL too because of a status I posted! (Hi Riley, if you're here!)
I'm about halfway through and I can't wait to see what happens?!
My friend Aaron in the group has informed me that he's finished. He told me that he came across a really interesting part in which he thought that he was aware of the ending, and felt the need to speed read through the ending. So I'm hoping to find that part as well, and speed read through the ending myself.

Guys! Start it, it's getting so good! (Unless of course you're busy, then take your time. Just know it's gonna be good once you get to it!)

I'm not crazy about Voxer, personally. I just don't like the format of this forum.

Has anyone reached Chapter 5 yet? The chapter on echoes?
I'm not entirely sure I want to read it. I remember reading it last time and just thinking I was wasting my time. I mean if Johnny Truant says I can read the book however I want, I may take him up on that, hahaha.

Anyway, thoughts? Do other people like chapters like these? I hate them.
I also skipped most of the chapters about music in American Psycho, haha.

Oh my god, I've seen this photo.
So sad.

I've downloaded Voxer, and it seems pretty easy and it has group chat features.
If anyone else has it, my username is carolinerae.

Might I also suggest when posting quotes and questions in this discussion, including the page number FIRST, so members can decide whether or not to read your quote, spoilers or no.

Girl, I was in the same boat last month AND the month before. I haven't filmed in so long, and the number of books I've finished in the last two months is embarrassing.
BUT, it's a good time and a great way to get back on your grind!
Where have you stopped?
Also, if anyone is interested in like, a group text to talk instantly about the book, I'm so into that.

For all the things you underline and annotate or just really like.

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I've been AWOL lately, April was a terrible month and May was swamped! But I'm so excited this is still on! I'm starting reading tonight! Has anyone started yet?
