WOMEN AND MEN is on my list of books I'd like to get around to sometime but
for some reason never do so

I sent quite awhile looking at HOUSE OF LEAVES - I finally decided to make
sure that my library had a copy in case I do decide to give it a shot - It
does have two strikes against it though - 1) it has been declared to have
"instant cult status" see the reviews on Amazon for example) 2) it looks
and feels a lot, A LOT, like INFINITE JEST
