I personally completely loved House of Leaves, but then tried reading the author's second full-length book, Only Revolutions, and that one definitely beat me. Not only is it written in really annoying language, but in order to read it 'correctly' you're supposed to read 8 pages from one cover, flip it upside down and read 8 pages from the other cover, and then flip it back to the first side, continuing 8 pages at a time. Considering that I read very quickly, I spent more time flipping the book over than I did actually reading it. Besides that, the actual story itself just didn't pull me in. I got about 40 or 50 pages in before giving up.
