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’m sorry about your mom. I have my brothers beat up copy of house of leaves, he died 15 years ago, and I still haven’t gotten through it. Not sure if I even want to finish it but I’ve tried so many times lol. It’s now in a box in my in laws garage with some other precious books I kept after I moved countries. Hoping to get my couple boxes of books next year. Maybe I’ll try again when I bring my books home.
