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 ?

    Hey, I’ve literally tried reading that book four times, each time I remember why I quit: there’s 100s of pages of buildup with little payoff. A great book the first 100 pages, gets tedious the rest of them. I want to sink myself into that strange, unsettling world for longer but I can’t take the boredom.
