> But "House of Leaves" was a unique and innovative novel, and "Rose Red" seems like tripe.

I've watched the first hour of the show, but gave it up due to my wife laughing too much. For those of you who don't know, my wife is in academia (psychology/neuroscience). It was like me watching a show that used magic computer mumbo-jumbo.

I think we turned it off when the wife yelled, "You can't vote to remove someone's tenure! That's the whole point of tenure!"

> Anyway, if any of you are watching "Rose Red," I want to recommend a good book which plays with some of the same ideas only in a more interesting way.

Cool. I'm always up for a good book recommendation.
