House of Leaves

I've gotten tied up in reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. What an incredible work of literature! I'm about 3/4 of the way through and I'm thinking I'll have to re-read it immediately to get the full effect; there are so many mysteries.

Anyway, the vocabulary in HoL has been challenging me. Here's a few new words I've learned:

• sabin
• aphonia
• scarification
• tenebrific
• tessellated
• celerity
• phillumenist
• prolix
• exegesis

Go loook them up if you don't already know their meanings.
