  Nobody can convince me that’s a good format.

  The “battles [1][7][8][9][31][42][44][45][47][64][65][67][68][83][99]” format is superior and I’ll die on that hill!

  I’m working my way through House of Leaves right now, and the real horror is the grad school flashbacks from trying to follow the footnotes.

    Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell by Susanna Clarke is pretty fantastic/terrible about that. The footnotes are often entire short stories and span many pages.

      I think the footnotes enhanced my love of that book.

      And I alway think kindly of Pterry’s nested footnotes.

  Could they not do the lil numbers with the footnotes instead?

  It’s even worse when you’re quoting some motherfucker that took PRIDE in plagiarism. Did Thomas More source his claims? No. He just made them and dared your peasant ass to say something about it.
