You might get through it that way!<br /><br />@LBC, that's what I've heard about House of Leaves. It sounds so interesting, I really can't wait to check it out. Hopefully mum got the hint when I put that one in bold on my chrissy list!<br /><br />@couchpotato, I'm yet to read anything by LeGuin, but that was the book recommended by an author (can't remember which) in a must read sci-fi article I read, so I think it'll probably be where I start. Hopefully I'll like it! The graphic novel is amazing, it's very, very close to the book and the art work is superb. It's as though they were in my head and drew what I imagined as I read it. <br /><br />@Ingrid, thanks! I hope you find a few books in your stocking too!<br /><br />@Laura, it'll be my first non-Lolita Nabokov, so I'm hoping I enjoy it, and perhaps my stomach won't turn quite so often with this one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-67487279677441047702011-12-21T11:20:51.283+10:002011-12-21T11:20:51.283+10:00I'd heard a lot of good things about LeGuin, a...I'd heard a lot of good things about LeGuin, and loved some of her quotes. I read <i>The Left Hand of Darkness</i> a couple years ago, and I wasn't that thrilled by it. Maybe I just picked the wrong one of her books to read first. <br /><br />The graphic novel of <i>The Stand</i> is interesting. I wouldn't be able to read it at night, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786594091195860484.post-48532738575168150212011-12-21T05:32:25.390+10:002011-12-21T05:32:25.390+10:00Good stuff.

I have read House of Leaves though, and I think it is the kind of book you want to own, just because it is so interesting as a physical object.
