About Me
Well, hello and welcome to my "Biography"!
So, I guess I can add "Biography" to the genre list here on my profile.
I am not sure where I stand when drawing a line literally.

-------------------HOUSE OF LEAVES" ~ By Mark Z. Danielewski ------------------------
Here is a Borders interview with author Mark Z. on his novel "House of Leaves"
see Wikipedia below interview for descript of novel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
House of Leaves is the debut novel by the American author Mark Z. Danielewski, published by Pantheon Books. The novel quickly became a bestseller following its March 7, 2000 release, having already developed a cult following through gradual release over the Internet. It was followed by a companion piece, The Whalestoe Letters. The novel has since been translated into a number of foreign languages.
The format and structure of the novel is unconventional, with unusual page layout and style, making it ergodic literature. It contains copious footnotes, many of which contain footnotes themselves, and some of which reference books that do not exist.[1] Some pages contain only a few words or lines of text, arranged in strange ways to mirror the events in the story, often creating both an agoraphobic and a claustrophobic effect. The novel is also distinctive for its multiple narrators, who interact with each other throughout the story in disorienting and elaborate ways.
Danielewski expands on this point in an interview: "I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right. In some ways, genre is a marketing tool."[2]
House of Leaves has been described as a "satire of academic criticism."[3]

Self defining, I tell you this. This is, this was, and this may very well be.
But, well will be, this could possibly vary?

The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to
proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our
capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people.
~ Mark Twain

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition,
and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
~ George Bernard Shaw
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself,
till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call
kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political
power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.
~ Plato
