I love the way house of leaves does footnotes, it’s basically an entire other book crammed into the same space. I still haven’t finished it because I keep getting lost…
I’m stuck at chapter IX, where flipping forward a bit I know I’m going to have to dedicate a serious reading session to, and I just cannot find the time.
Guilty, but now I’m considering switching to footnotes¹. They let you express a related thought without disrupting the flow².
¹I blame House of Leaves. Lotta footnotes in there, and they can go a long way before they really get out of hand.
² Sure there are cons, like the fact that the reader has to go to the bottom for context, but there’s also no real length limit.
