This is not for you.

um...
the house in house of leaves gives you what you want, right?
it's that alien thing that has been hanging out since before we even got here
it's been waiting and
it just gives you what you want
not a car or money or big tits or a corner office
it gives you what you really want
the want that lives in your deepest you
like
it gives the guy in the wheelchair a chance to be a tragic hero
it gives the guy who wants a monster a monster (even if it does make him crazy)
it gives the kids a really cool way to play hide and seek
it gives karen nothing
it gives navy (after all) a reason to live
it became a house because we understand a house
right?

maybe
just maybe
the smoke "monster" in lost is the same thing
maybe it killed the pilot because he thought he crashed the plane
maybe it killed mr. eco because he fucked up
maybe it didn't kill ben because he's fucked in the head

maybe

just maybe

i'm just saying maybe here...

Could the smoke "monster" in "Lost" be the same "thing" as the "house" in "House Of Leaves"?

The vinyl_powered community is looking for new members. Vinyl_powered is a community for serious listeners with a broad range of musical interests. The focus is on discussion, though an application is required to join.

Is anyone still active in here? I read the book a few months ago and I'm crazy about it. The story was well written, though I have so many questions that I would like Zampano or someone to answer.
I just joined this community so I wanted to post cause I can. Cheers!

i just watched it tonight ... the old man in the bookstore tells the boy: "this book is not for you."

pretty cool huh?

also the stuff in the movie reminded me of navidson using the matches and burnt holes appearing in the manuscript.

this was found here...

up to page 408.

geezuz! what am i gonna do after i finish the damn thing?

(personalty, i think that navy went back because he's a guy. we do stupid shit like that all the time. it's one of those darwin/freud/pavlov/caveman/wet wired/race memory/instilled in our dna things. 'course, he's prob'ly all but insane over the whole thing as well. just a thought...)

i'm up to page 347, you know "infidelity"? the book's got me crazed and i can't stop listening to poe's cd!

why's there a check mark at the bottom of page 97?

ah, well...back to reading...

before i go into anything substantial, i just want to know ... is there anyone still reading/participating in this community? it seems like there hasn't been many posts since the community started. i ask because if this community isn't very active, i'd like to start one. i want to talk to (non english major) people about the book :)
