Hey LatentMoths, he just responded to your tweet. "Excellent choice." Am I the only one that gets nervous when the bad guys start handing out compliments?

Yeah, I was thinking that too. PDFs mess up the page format, so I'm not even going to bother...

Bleh. That's true. I'm going to keep downloading it for the hell of it.

I'm currently downloading the .pdf of house of leaves, and I will look up the page number.

How will we get Derek to do it, when there is no way to contact him?

We comment on his blog.

Also, I see two possibilities. Page 33, word number 14,28,1,3,8 - which then forms a sentence. Or page 33, letter number 14, 28, 1, 3, 8 - which then forms a word.

Get Derek to do it? He has the book. Also, maybe spoiler it?

Note that "I Scream Before Normalcy" spells ISBN.
