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?

I've heard of it to. Isn't that her father, though? She has an entire song called House of Leaves.

We read that ages ago. He didn't strike us as being multiple. It's a takeoff on the Winchester House legend. Stephen King used the same house as the basis for Rose Red.

Let me try posting this again...

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.
