Okay, so, random question:
I know many of you use those different fonts for things, and I've found a website called Font Meme that does it, but I can't figure out how to get what I've typed onto a post. Can anyone help me?
(Sorry if this is a little off-topic. I didn't have anywhere else to ask.)
Sometimes you see things that are
real,
and other times it's like
crazy, crazy, crazy
all up in your face.
All the time.

Does anyone here know Roald Dahl?
He has to be, like, one of my top FAVOURITE authors of all time. I think he's amazing.
Today I read his story, 'The Landlady.' Very intriguing story. It has no resolution, only forcing you to simply infer what the outcome will be. After a tad bit of thinking once I reached the end, I realized all the hidden messages and meanings. I was able to come to a conclusion about the ending, and I have to admit I was a bit stunned; though satisfyingly stunned.
It was a bit of a twisted, almost creepy story, and that's why I loved it. Never have I felt towards a simple short story that way before. It pulled me in completely.
The way Dahl uses his utterly clever way with words, the way he sneaks in adjectives that foreshadow the conclusion, it just wonders me.

That somehow reminds me of the novel 'House of Leaves'
Basically about a house with a mind of its own, and a group of people exploring it get lost when the house practically swallows them with its twisting, shifting hallways and staircases and random doors. They all start going mad, and the writing layout reflects their declining state of mind, like so:

Some people find it to be a challenging read, and I suppose it can, at times, but overall it's fascinating.

I love that book. Though once I tried to read when I was slightly delusional with fever and well...don't.
Great book Though.
