New site? Maybe some day.
|
I hear it is really good, any opinions? |
|
That book is out of control good. It's like Borges/Cortazar/Baudrillard wrapped into one in an intensely creative horror type book. It's seriously possibly the best book I've ever read. |
|
awsome, im going to order it on Amazon.com right now |
|
I read the first like quarter of this book, got kninda confused and never picked it up again. I heard its excellent though. |
|
i read it, might read it again im pretty bored. |
|
Holy Crap!!
you guys know that book????
Mark (the writer is a really cool guy (with a famous sister) in case you didn't know.

oh..sorry..his sister is poe..
you know the singer.. |

I tried reading that book. When I leafed through it I thought it looked amazing and truly original. However, I'll warn you, when I sat down to read it I just found it confusing and hard to follow. It was pretty unique, but if you have a short attention span like I do you might not make it through the whole book, I didn't. It's too bad too, because the storyline itself is awesome and really bizzare. I wish he'd re-release a more linear and traditionally written version so I can follow along better. |
|
It's worth reading anyway. The format is an extension of the theme to some extent but the writer did seem to go out of his way just to be difficult. I would like to see what else he can come up with. |
|
this is book is fucking brilliant, brilliantly put together. There's a reason it's so hard to follow, and it comes through more and more as you read along. Everyone on earth should read this book.
Anyone else read it in the 4 years since this thread started? I just finished it yesterday. |

HoL rules. I stand by it. Danielwski got totally full of himself after writing it though, and took the book's success as a free ticket to write whatever he wanted. I wouldn't line my cats litterbox with Only Revolutions. |

What this guy said |

actually. I might get a cat for the sole purposes of getting it to shit all over that book. |

AN ACTUAL EXCERPT FROM ONLY REVOLUTIONS (from Amazon):
I'm no hurry.
But what now worries me?
Terribly unique. Heartendingly
sharp. Out there, my only harm.
Of course I approach the edge.
Roams below drippling the extent
of my thawing ramble. Surely.
I'm the Mountain which
the world climbs down from and
I laugh because it tickles.
Martins wheel.
And though with a wave I could
raze it,
I'm fascinated.
My donkey trots off.
-never fall.

Nice fucking novel, dick. I could just picture him typing that up on his iBook while he sips on his bubble tea and says "I'm the greatest writer since Dean Koontz" |
|
that reads like metalcore lyrics. |
|
Hahahaha I just started leafing through Only Revolutions this morning. Boo. I'm sure he knows he can't top House of Leaves, but he could have at least TRIED. |
