Apparently there's a Japanese edition of House of Leaves.

Why would it look awesome? Just b/c it's japanese. What about a chinese version? Does mandarin look just as cool as japanese? hmmmmmmmmmmmm or even korean?

Perhaps he's the type that gets a kanji tattoo thinking it means 'free spirit' when it actually translates to 'unfastened flatulence'.

There is no Korean or Chinese version.

Greek version would probably look pretty interesting too.

A traditional Chinese version would be most awesome.

Regardless, it wouldn't be Traditional Chinese if it were produced for the PRC.

What would be nicest is Classical Chinese. Forget all this Mandarin-centricism.

Oh yes, because numbers are everything.

So this book makes references to Norse mythology, Finnegans Wake, Jacques Derrida and is really popular among metal bands? I think I'll pass.
