House of Leaves

While Navidson is lost alone within the hallway, the stairway flips and turns and he becomes very disoriented. To mirror this, the text on the page grows and shrinks, changes places on the page, makes you flip the book around, often doesn't exist, and is very unorganized. Just reading the book and flipping the pages as quickly as you have to makes you as disoriented as Navidson must feel. It took me a minute to realize which side is the bottom and which is the top. It's this varied writing style is what interests me about the book.
