I just gave up on "House of Leaves." I read about half and couldn't get into it. Now I'm reading "Not Quite One of the Boys" and the Bacchus graphic novels. I'm liking both, but haven't gotten very far in either. My wife just tore through "Elephants on Acid" which is a great collection of the most bizarre scientific experiments in history. She told me about half of the experiments and there's some crazy shit. Reanimated kittens, head transplants, brainwashing, etc... It's an endless supply of story ideas.
