Rick and Faith are reading this book called House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. He's the brother of the singer Poe. anyway, some of it sounded to me like it could be a metaphor for multiplicity.

it's not, he's not multiple that I know of, but it still sounds like it to me.

anyway, basically, inside this house, is a door that shouldn't really lead to anywhere, cos the space doesn't allow for it, but it leads into this hallway anyway. the hallway keeps expanding and changing, sort of reflecting the emotional state of the people who live in the house.

anyone heard of/read it? any thoughts?

That is my favorite book ever. There really isn't any one way to explain what happens in the stories, so the explanation of it is really up to the reader. The only concrete thing that's been said about the book is that it's about MZD and Poe's experiences growing up (metaphorical experiences obviously.)

I'm not sure I made sense in this comment or not. Either way, great book.

would you believe I haven't started it yet?

I have it sitting next to me right now, and I've listened to Haunted a gabajillion times, and i've taken down all the lyrics, AND MADE FOOTNOTES ON THEM...and explored some theories based on it, but I HAVEN"T CRACKED THE SPINE.

well, not exactly true, I read a bunch of it, but this book, man...if you leave it too long, you completely lose your way...but I guess that's the point.
