I have my mom’s copy of house of leaves, she died 2 years ago 💔 she was my favorite person on earth and I miss her so much

and I really want to get past the first 100 pages, but finding it hard to

she was an avid reader of difficult texts and books, and said it was one of her favorite fiction books, so for that reason I have been searching Reddit to get some perspective on how to get into it

I’m finding it difficult to get into , have tried multiple times but I am committed to reading the whole thing as a tribute to my mom

I know that may sound odd to some, but I want that connection 🩵 somehow

any advice on how to approach it ?

    I am sorry for your loss. And you wanting the connection is understandable. From what I know, the book is quite demanding. I haven’t read it myself, so can’t offer any suggestion. But I do hope you find your way.

    However, sometimes a book becomes more approachable with time. I have spurned books that at later age reeled me in. Cherish your mum’s copy of the book and keep coming back to it :) wishing you peace
