@Dahmonium @bookstodon have you read Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad? That's similarly a retelling / inversion of the Odyssey

@benjamincox @lydiaschoch @bookstodon +1 to this recommendation, it is a really excellent book.

@n_dimension @bookstodon I couldn't get into House of Leaves because I wasn't enjoying the Johnny Truant character, but XX did remind me of The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall, which I definitely recommend for similar typographical pyrotechnics (although it is a lot lighter!).

@oleastra @kimlockhartga @bookstodon I finished The Familiar a couple of days ago! I'm currently reading Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges. I'm also half way through XX by Rian Hughes, a 970 page doorstop that I had to pause because the Borges needs to go back to the library, and am *also* half way through Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake, which my 11yo daughter has me reading to her as her bedtime story.
