King Crusoe’s Reviews > House of Leaves > Status Update

Total guess at my approximate percentage at this point. Only a few chapters left. Like 30 pages, plus maybe a dozen-ish pages of back matter I haven’t tackled? So really my page count throughout this whole thing has been an underestimate lol.

Either way. What a journey this has been so far. Just one final stretch for tomorrow.

Slowly but surely getting there. Chapters 15-16 definitely seemed a bit of a bridge, while also having some big L O R E implications of the house. So that’s neat!

Would read chapter 17 this morning too (I technically have time), but I have a work project I need to prioritize at the moment, so I’m sticking to the original plan. 17-19 tomorrow, then 20-23 the day after :D

Kinda surprised there was such a huge climactic sequence here (Chapters 13-14), tho it does make sense. It almost reminds me of how surprised I was by how quickly things got out of proportion early in the book too.

Well, 15-16 tomorrow, 17-19 the day after. Looking forward to continuing.

Had a few days without time for reading unfortunately. But Chapters 11-12 were good! Definitely still highly enjoying this experience.

All things going optimally, I plan to read Ch. 13-14 tomorrow; 15-16 Wednesday; 17-19 Thursday; 20-23 Friday. Then if there’s extraneous material still left (appendix stuff, basically), I’ll do that Saturday and still have time for the 2nd Diary on Sunday. Fingers crossed!

Guesstimating page count given how much random assorted end material has been read by now. Chapter 9 was a fuckin doozy lmao. Chapter 10 was much quicker. 11 looks to be back to “normal” before 12 goes quicker again. We’ll see.

Appendices II-C + II-D. Wow.

That was a lot.

Chapter 5 was LOT wow. That was awesome. And it just pointed me to some Appendix stuff that I gotta read tomorrow. Very excited!
