“@MCAsche House of Leaves by Mark Danielewsky. Read it 20 years ago when it came out, it's stuck with me like almost no other book. It's just otherworldly. | @Tyrvani @GeekandSundry @Hydra_Lord @VoiceOfOBrien @executivegoth @Marisha_Ray @LauraBaileyVO @WillingBlam @MaryEMcGlynn @willfriedle House of Leaves. | This is a book that you have to hold because there are parts of it where you need to turn it upside down to read it. It's an entire sensory experience. | Today’s random pick is House Of Leaves by Mark Danielewski — one of the few books I own bicoastally. It’s about a haunted house and it’s long and weird and the first time I read it I got completely obsessed and remember exactly where I was when I finished it.”

Consider The Republic by Plato. Recommended by 13 sources.
“Plato stages an extended Socratic conversation that moves from concrete questions about justice into broad proposals about an ideal city, the structure of the soul, and what counts as reality and knowledge. Reading alternates brisk question-and-answer snippets with long, cumulative demonstrations that reward careful attention and annotation. Main value: a wealth of thought experiments for testing political and ethical intuitions. Main limitation: repetitive refutations, long policy sketches and dense metaphysical passages can feel abstruse and slow; patience and some philosophical background help.”
