Project 2 - Doujin Soft Novel suggestion

Okay, so I (miraculously) found my notes, and the book is called VAS: An Opera in Flatland (no T, apparently). However, the professor I had talked to also mentioned House of Leaves, which actually seems very similar to the book Evan suggested earlier in class, Tree of Codes. Flavorwire has an article discussing the two, and had this to say about House of Leaves:
House of Leaves demands engagement. You can’t read the book without spinning it around in your hands, flipping pages back and forth, squinting and holding it up to mirrors. The story is a psychological thriller about a house whose inner dimensions are larger than its outside measurements allow. It is a horror story and a ruse and a book that is in love with being a book.

These books seem to have so much potential for a number of great arguments/directions for your paper. Hope this helps!
