¹ and of course all the footnotes that appear at the most impossible places.

It's one of the quirks of House of Leaves. Not to mention any segment concerning the Minotaur.¹

What's with the bluefont, if I can ask? It's been bugging me this whole time.

Spoiler: book cover (click to show/hide)

But yeah; never read it myself, but it makes use of different text colors which change somewhat frequently.

[Darvi]

That book cover's weird. The words "A novel" aren't in purple.

House is blue. Every time. Even if it's in another language, or part of a word, or part of a word in another language.
Struck passages are red. Anything involving a minotaur is struck.
One particular struck passage (one, of the whole book) is purple, but I lacked the full color version, so I can't remember which it was. I didn't see any red either.
The colors are just another part of the insanity. Danielewski likes colors, I guess, as is very evidenced in Only Revolutions.

Darvi: I looked far too long for that footnote. IIRC, there's never a footnote that actually appears (relatively) above the text it's referenced it; even when the footnotes got to their most crazy, they always led down and to the side, even relative to the flipped text. I may be wrong, but that was something that kind of stood out.
I really wish I had a copy to reference.

Why should they be? I didn't think he did that for House of Leaves.

[Darvi]

My book has that. There's three bits that are in purple, "A Novel", "First Edition",

And towards the end of the story "what I'm remembering right now."

Also, the strikes themselves aren't red.

Oh, thanks. That makes sense.
I only had access to the blue edition. As such, I missed out on all other colors.

Look, it's a hilarious thing!

Go read, go read.

All I got from the classical section was Glass Effect, but at least it was hilarious.

Just stepped into my first dedicated programming language, Python. I made a small step today, by learning how to use a splicing feature to seperate strings into individual components. Also learned a bit more about if and while functions and more about assigning values to variables. FANTASTIC ~

Blargh Failcannon wasted a lot of my time today. But totally worth it.
