    that's a good point - the terrors being drug related. i don't why i never thought of that. ha.

    i might see if i can order it from the national library.


    it is indeed a brand new reference. it's such an intense song, and even though it's mostly instrumental, i feel like it reflects my life so much at the moment. lol.

    lude was a great character, yeah. and for some reason i hold a particular affinity for thumper. heh. she was just such an interesting person.

    the only thing that kind of annoyed me about house of leaves (and it didn't so much annoy me, it was just, idk, but yeah) was just the reliability of johnny. i mean, he made up that part where he stayed with his doctor friends and got better, so who knows how much of his story he made up, y'know. idk. it didn't really really really annoy me, only a little tiny bit.

    the library here doesn't have only revolutions D:
    i was rather sad when i found out.

    and sorry for the late reply. life has been hecticcc.

    hah thanks for the comment, i seem to be collecting a "poor dave" club at the moment, so it's nice to see that one person is still on Alex's side :)
    i was a bit nervous about doing the chapter cleanup thing, so i'm glad you figured it out haha.
    thanks, your comment was exactly what i needed to hear, i always get a bit iffy when it comes to writing dramatic scenes.

    oh jeez. so i just read the decoded letter. uh, fun times for pelafina..

    yeah, it could be all in her mind, because she is on meds and in an institution. but yeah, also the possibility of it actually happening. which is rather... disheartening.

    i actually think she was one of my favourite characters in the book. i'm not sure why, and she was barely mentioned until the end. but, idk, there's just something about her. like the whole 'strangle johnny so he doesn't have to live without me' thing, or whatever that was about. it was just... interesting. idk. but yeah.

    also there's some theory that zampano and johnny were the same person. which is insane to think about. but yeah.

    good book. ha.

    oh really. what about the ending didn't you like?
    because ending could mean the end of the navidson story, or truant's story, or even the collection of letters. ha.

    and darn. i just remembered. you know that one letter from johnny's mother, and you're supposed to take the first letter of every word to find the actual message? when i came across it i couldn't be bothered working it out, so i skipped it will all intention of going back and doing it later. but i forgot and returned the book to the library. fuuuck. lol.

    i think interesting is an understatement. idk, but that book is... it's just insane. and i love the fact that i'm actually thinking while i'm reading it. y'know. 'cause i'm sick of reading books that are so mindless and predictable that i get bored and never finish them.
    it's definitely one of the best books i've ever read.

    ah a few more years right, and then you'll get to be like me. self motivated... or not so motivated..err.
    or you could not be like me at all, which would probably be much better :)

    Thanks so much for the comment :)
    and yes, the story is named after act appalled by Circa Survive.
    a few lines basically gave me the idea to write it.
    You're first person to notice that :D
