House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Book cover for House of Leaves

This book was very... different. The main plot involves a house that defies science and is larger on the inside. But instead of just being a straightforward story it's told from the perspective of a researcher who wrote a manuscript compiling all the research and references from people who are discussing the film tapes that were made from exploring the house. (However the film tapes don't seem to exist). Sometimes there will be a page in French, or a page full of literally a list of 100 (irrelevant) names that you just have to skip over. So I guess it's a very artsy sort of book? But the mystery of the plot is compelling enough to keep it going.
