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 ?

    It’s okay to take breaks. I read about 2-3 chapters at a time, then would take a break to fully digest and marinate until I felt like picking it up again. I even would finish other books in those breaks. Sometimes because life is busy and then sometimes because I have to process what I read.
