House Of Leaves

House of Leaves is my favorite piece of multi-media literature we've looked at this semester. I think that the reason I find it so impressive is that as well as being written in a very creative fashion, it is also a well-written and interesting story. The story could stand on it's own and still be a good read, without all the different plays on text and footnotes. I feel that it has a stronger and more well-written plot than Personal Effects. The way that Mark Z. Danielewski plays with the text makes the story much more mysterious and eerie. I love the way he always puts "house" in blue letters, and how he switches fonts to give hints about the narrators' personalities. You can really get lost in the book because of the multi-media aspects, which makes it feel even more like a maze and parallels with the idea of the Navidson house's ever changing rooms and hallways.
