an excerpt from House of Leaves
Because the book I want doesn't come out until end of January...
Because I've had this book forever and have yet to finish it b/c I procrastinate like it's my job...
Because this book, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, is damn good...
An excerpt for your reading pleasure:
I can't remember the innane things I started babbling about then. I know it didn't really matter, she wasn't listening. She just yanked up on the emergency break, dropped her seat back, and told me to lie on top of her. On top of those leather pants of hers, her hands immediately guiding mine over those soft, slightly-oily folds, positioning my fingers on a shiny, metal tab, small and round like a tear. Then mummering a mummer so inaudible that even though I could feel her lips tremble against my ear, she seemed far, far away. "Pinch it," she said, which I did lightly until she also said, "Pull it," which I also did, gently parting the teeth, one at a time, down under and beneath the longest unzipping of my life.
Hey Pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me through my world?
