As a former bookseller, House of leave was always one of those books that was nearly impossible to sell. But for the few who took on the task of reading this title, nearly every person CRAVED more. Only had 1 person return their copy of the book. That was because it was one of those people who would purchase a book, read it in a day then exchange it.

By definition, Captain Underpants is ergodic literature on account of the flip-o-Rama sections if you consider flipping a page back and forth as non-trivial navigation of the story.

I got my copy of House of Leaves from a Second Hand Bookstore and soon discovered that the previous owner had made notes in Pen on the pages. I was confused at first as to whether or not this was an actual previous owner or yet another layer of narrative. Seeing the indentation of the pen on the paper told me it was the former. In any other case I might be mad that the previous owner marked the book, but in the case of house of leaves I found it very appropriate and only enhanced the experience. It felt right that this story of a person trying to decipher a manuscript would contain the additions of another reader deciphering the work. My copy is very special to me because of that and I ended up making a note or two of my own so whoever gets it after me will have yet another layer of commentary. It's a house of leaves that keeps getting bigger on the inside.

My mom's a writer and she's been a bit stuck with her latest novel so I told her about these funky books and suddenly there was a glow to her eyes and she started looking at nothing and went "I really wanna make one of those... You just gave me such a good idea". So yeah!! Super glad I found this video and can't wait to see what she comes up with.

House of leaves is my favorite book ever. It's actually the only book I ever annotated my own notes, if only because I thought it was funny that at some time in the future, someone could buy the book from me second hand, and have even 1 more layer of footnotes

The first minute convinced me to put a hold on House of Leaves from the library. I'll come back after I've read it.

I was making supper, just minding my own business and I almost burnt the onions because you said "choice of games" and my soul fucking ascended while I was at the stove

i read a lot of house of leaves while at my job (there was nothing to do quite often) so i would like to give you a fun little image. i was decoding one of the letters (the one where she was using the first letter of every word) and scribbling in the margins. apparently i looked a little Strange because my manager came over and was like ...are you good? and i was like YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I HAVE TO DECODE THESE LETTERS BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS A LABYRINTH AND then he left me alone <3

Thereâs a one act play called 52 Pick Up, which consists of 52 scenes, performed in a random order. In performance, each scene title is written on a playing card and at curtain, the deck is thrown in the air. After each scene, one of the actors picks up another card, reads the title, and the scene is performed. It works well.

It's essentially a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book for adults, but I thought "I Am Not a Wolf" was delightful, and made me laugh out loud in several spots.

I love how your character has gotten more and more fabulous as time progresses

I just went to Barnes and Noble to look for House of Leaves (which I found in the horror section!), but initially I was looking in Fiction⌠by complete accident, I came across a book called Crossings by Alex Landragin. I picked it up as I thought, that title seems topical, and realized I was right. It says on the back, âDesigned to be read either as a first to last page narrative or by following an alternative chapter sequence that offers a very different reading experience.â No way⌠and then as I found myself in the actual beginning of the Fiction section looking for the Dâs I found Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar! I took that as fate and went home with 3 books đ

This reminds me of the game "Analogue: A Hate Story", where you read logs on a ruined generation space ship (in a somewhat arbitrary order) presented to you by one of two AIs that offer their own opinions and perspectives on what are contained within the logs.

I remember wandering around a bleak Barnes and Noble twenty years ago as a teen asking for âmore weird books like House of Leavesâ and getting nothing. Thanks for finally answering my question. I appreciate it.

House of Leaves was an absolute blast to read, not because the story is a masterpeice (it fluctuates between great - the horror, maze parts, and fine - Mostly the longs segments of Johnny) but because I got the sense that the writer had so much fun coming up with all the different ways that he could play with formating. Itâs great inspiration and I keep taking it from my shelf when I feel stuck and just need some inspiration for my own writing.
Another novel that could be considered Ergodic is "Cains Jawbone". A murder mystery that would released as 100 single pages in a box. Each page was some text and an area for notes so itâs up to you to out the pages back in order and figure out the murder (There was/is still a cash price for people who gives the correct answer)

"We ran a contest. Whoever destroyed their book the best got a replacement copy. Everyone else was out of luck." Have you ever just... fallen in love with someone from one thing they say? Not in a romantic or sexual way, but in such a way that you know you want this person to have the best possible life and you hope they feel your love? My word.
Also, the weirdly huge margins of S. were the very first thing I noticed when you showed the insides. That would drive me as insane as your reading of the The Unfortunates made me feel.

I'll be honest, when I heard you say that the characters in House of Leaves broke a hole in a wall, and that there was now a "hole" in the pages, I was imagining a different end to that scenario.
I was thinking there'd be pages and pages of just, an empty space, with words missing from sentences because they fell into the "hole". The sentences would (hopefully) still be comprehensible, but definitely missing a few pieces.
Then, when they reach the other side of the hole in the story, they'd see something unfathomable, something that would take a huge explanation for the readers to truly comprehend.
Too bad for the readers, though, because that explanation is buried under all the words that fell through the "hole". So the page where the hole ends is just a mess of alphabet soup, kerned to hell and back to look like a bunch of letters just fell on top of each other.
And then they'd just move on to the next chapter, never telling the readers what they saw, but visibly shaking the characters.
...Writing this all out makes it feel a little tongue-in-cheek though, lol.

Not bothering to track down an Ayn Rand play and instead presenting a children's book with the exact same feature of ergodic literature is a wickedly clever slight of the former. I grinned like The Grinch.

âI love reading this, its horrible, donât read it.â Is the perfect way to describe Homestuck.
