> I am going to start and finish reading House of Leaves.

I finished House of Leaves more than a month ago, and I still can't figure out anything nice to say about it. I read every single word, including every single word in every single "citation," and not one of these words was any good.

Honestly, I think I'm kind of done with books written by straight men.

There are a few exceptions, but I'm starting to feel like male authors I haven't whitelisted need to be vetted by an expert panel of at least three people who aren't straight men themselves.

I've only read two books this year so far written by straight men and I despised one of them and barely tolerated the other one. I'm definitely double checking authors before I read something. It's like night and freaking day, I swear. I've been digging hardcore for books written by people who aren't straight men and I've been super pleased with what I've found so far. What a damn difference it makes.
