lizzie reads from tree of codes for your listening pleasure


EVERYONE KNOWS that tree of codes is jonathan safran foer's newest "novel" which is actually a "novella" created from another novel called the street of crocodiles.
it is a DIE-CUT book, as if he took the street of crocodiles and only printed it on one-side of the pages and then literally cut out some of the words to make a whole new story!!!!
(i think i'm going to submit this description here to wikipedia because there is no entry for tree of codes yet and this is so eloquently written.)
it's common knowledge that jonathan safran foer is a creative genius.
in fact everything he's ever written is the most beautiful thing i've ever read. maybe. if not, it's at least a tie for first place.
it took me quite a few tries to figure out how to read this book. first i just tried looking at the pages normally and reading through the holes. but then i realized that duh you need to lift up each page and read the words that remain.
please keep this in mind if you watch the video and are like "lizzie you can't even read wtf"
i mean the punctuation is not always obvious ok

i've probably read it about 5 times all the way through. hope you guys like it
cya
