I’m reading a book in which nearly every paragraph has a footnote; worse, an end note. Half of them are just quote or data sources, but the other half are genuinely interesting elaborations. This is mildly infuriating, especially since the book is very long, and also very good.
@neven Have you read House of Leaves? At some point the story switches to being told completely in the footnotes.
@ellen yeah. I found it grating overall, I’m afraid. Not as fun as it should be.
