Whats the best way to read House of Leaves? Chapter 9 is referenced early on, so should I skip to it or just read it straight through?
Also, I've heard that you don't get the same experience with an ebook version that you would with a physical copy. Is this true or just pretentious garbage?

Read it the same order you would any other book.
Physical copy if you can. There's a reason the title is called House of Leaves.

Are you referencing physical copy vs ebook, or the hipster garbage part?

The typography (which is a pretty essential part of the book) probably doesn't convert well.

>have to pick a foreign language to learn for college
>want to pick one that will give me access to a wider range of literature
Is there even a point to pick a language on this basis? I mean, I probably won't ever be able to understand the nuances of any language I learn...
What do you guys think? We haven't had this conversation in a while.

You're nearly wrong about anything.
Pick a language that has a lot of lit you want to read. Learning new languages is helpful on so many levels, really dive in to lad, feels great.

Does anyone else feel like they read better when drunk? It doesn't seem like that would be the case, but I find that when I'm drunk and reading, it just seems to "flow" better, I don't get so hung up on individual words. It's almost like, instead of seeing individual trees, I see the whole forest and how it all comes together. I think when I'm sober, I have a sort of mental block where I think too hard about the most minuscule details.

1) Top or bottom (do you keep your books with or without the dust jackets)?
2) Have you ever hesitated or refrained from buying a book with an ugly cover?
3) What's the most aesthetic/fitting book cover you own, and what's the worst/most ill-matched?

I've always found dustjackets to be fiddly and annoying, but I don't throw them out. For antique books the dustjacket contains 90% of the value.

Why is this book so famous & popular? I read it in grade 10 for school so I have read it but being that young and "forced" to read it there is very much the possibility that I didn't "get" it. But I've read a lot since then are there are many better books that would also be appropriate for highschool kids. Why this book?
What do you fools think about it?

I've read some of Dostoevsky's work and while I am interested in a philosophical perspective, I'm also curious to see arguments from a historical perspective as well. Like, the truth of the accounts in the Bible.

How is it even legal for such a virile white male to run for president? Forget banning guns, we need to fucking ban white men!
p.s. this book was filled with useful information for getting ahead in your career and life. it's mostly stuff your dad would have told you if he cared about you, but you're a 4chan shitposting communist so we know he didn't.
