What's the name of this fictional book where the author wrote in side-notes in the text and it's generally regarded as a horror book but someone approached him and said she felt it was a romance novel mostly? I'm going off memory on what I read on Wikipedia, so sorry for the vagueness.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 29 23:48:37 2010 No.850951 >>850949 Thank you. Is it a good read?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jun 29 23:49:37 2010 No.850953 >>850951 It's amazing. But that's my own opinion.

>>	Isabelle Huppert !!IRpnwIFOnYO Tue Jun 29 23:53:37 2010 No.850980 >>850960 Read both. Neuromancer is a pretty quick read.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 00:06:37 2010 No.851029 >>851022 For you, probably.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 30 00:08:37 2010 No.851042 >>851022 I didn't think so. Then again I really like jigsaw puzzles. In some ways, it's like a Torah produced in Moorish Cordoba: even if you don't understand what it says, you can at least enjoy the creative typography.

Rats. I read online that "Neuromancer" reads hard too. I'm basically just trying to find a really original book like "House of Leaves" and "Kathy's Book", but I've also have gotten a sudden interest to read some cyberpunk stuff that has the hardboiled mystery part to it, so if any of you can recommend anything, please do. Otherwise, "House of Leaves" seems like the one for me I feel at the moment.
