House of Leaves

I finished this one last night and it was quite a book I
have to say. Thanks to whoever it was on this board that
recommended it.

I thought for such an abstract and non-linear novel, the
ending was pretty cut and dry, unless I missed something,
which is highly likely.

The main question I had was about the evidence of some
monster lurking through the Ash Tree Lane house, Zampano's
house, and Johnny's house, and I figured he would pop up at
the end. No such luck though; anyone have any thoughts on
that?

I got to thinking, essentially HOL is a book within a book,
and it could even be a movie within a movie. If they could
recreate the expeditions and the home videos they speak of,
I think they could pull it off.

As an aside, I read today that Danielewski's sister is the
singer Poe, and her album Haunted is a companion album to go
with HOL. I found that pretty damn cool.

That's enough random House of Leaves thoughts for now. I'd
love to hear if anyone has any insight on some of the stuff
I may have missed.
