Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
Blankets by Craig Thompson
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
American Gods by Neil Gaiman


Why is the word House always blue in House of Leaves?

Never read it, never heard of it, but even the OF quote of the moment had it in blue.
"And it breaks my heart to look around, and see the unimpressed; who can't believe the emperor is dressed"~Fastball
