As a child, I used to get stuck in feedback loops thinking about what i was thinking about, setting up my pechant for introspective books about acts of seeing and reading. James Elkins How To Use Your Eyes exposes the processes and psychology behind seeing. Once read its hard to look around without acknowledging what is happening behind the scenes.
As for The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, the incredible micro-detail of an arbitary 5 minute period of office life expanded into neverending digressive footnotes. |

Italo Calvino's classic If On A Winters Night, A Traveller breaks the comforting notion of being buried in a novel, constantly reminding you of what you are holding. |
