Hey chiffers!!!
I am about 20 pages away from finishing this book and I am completely blown away with this one…
It, literally, is the most original novel that I have ever read in my life.
I highly suggest it…it is a very difficult read…include footnotes and footnotes to the footnotes.
Check it out and post some thoughts…I’m not willing to give anything away at this point.
I have never seen a footnote to a footnote, or a novel written in Chicago style, for that matter.
well…the book is about a documentary…it is the notes about the documentary…and its the notes of someone who found the notes about the documentary…if that makes sense. 
This is sci-fi then?
djm
horror
the documentary is about a haunted house.
And the horror is the footnotes to the footnotes.
have you read it?
Because, you actually have some truth to that…
here’s a synopsis…
a guy named Johnny Truant comes across a cluttered room full of mismatched notes scribbled on any piece of paper that was available to the original note taker, Zampano…Zampano is writing these notes about a documentary called The Navidson Record…which never existed…within the book you will be reading Zompano’s written recollection of the documentary and it includes footnotes that Zampano made in regards to it…on top of that, you also have footnotes from Johnny Truant as he is trying to put all of these Zampano footnotes into a collective manner. The result is mystifying, to say the least…you need to be able to pay attention to this one…I think I had 4 bookmarks at one point…completely mid-blowing…
Read it.
Sounds interesting. Is it really really scary or just kinda scary? I don’t like things that are TOO scary.
no…it doesn’t get too scary…it does get quite graphic a couple times…vulgar and sexually graphic..but, nothing you wouldn’t see in an R rated movie…well..maybe.. 
Never read it, but I have some experience in reading highly footnoted documents. I always seemed to miss a key footnote or reference along the way, and end up hopelessly confounded.
The butler did it.
