Any of you all read it?
I am about 150 pages in (of almost 1300), and it has me hooked deep.

Too bad Baloo isn't around here any more. Dude loved Danielewski, especially House of Leaves.

Have you read House of Leaves? How does this book compare?

I have not. I have only read about it.
This one uses the "signiconoic" techniques very sparingly. It is pretty much straightforward storytelling (with some time shifting).
It is set in "Orvop," which is a thinly veiled reference to Provo, where he grew up. So far, this book is really, really good. I am about 200 pages in.

Did not know he had a new one. I'm in.
Whalestoe, HoL, Only Revolutions, Sword... all great reads if you like what he tries to do.

Not sure. But he was a huge Danielewski fan going back to before we even had a book board on TD.
Dude even had a House of Leaves tattoo
