Finally got House of Leaves from the holds shelf so I'm chipping away at it. The Johnny parts are hard to get thru but I've heard that's a common sentiment. It was actually really hard to read this after The Vaster Wilds, because the writing there was so descriptive and a simple 3rd person narrative. House of Leaves is very idk conversational? Expository? So far it's hard to get lost in.

Yeah, I felt like I had to force myself through a lot of the Johnny parts.
