So I just got finished with my reading of house of leaves and I enjoyed the novel for the wild use of text and whatnot however, where I was getting the most enjoyment out of the book was when Johnny (one of the editors) would start talking about his life, it was just very immersive how he would talk so plainly and realistically like how I would imagine a normal person speaking or journaling not some wannabe author that writes in a way that takes me out of the story instead of dragging me into it and relating to me personally. If you have any suggestions of an author who writes like this (the character doesn’t even have to be writing about mental illness either) I would be eager to read the book.
