This reminds me of House of Leaves, which for one of those odd 'literature' 
reasons, always had the word 'house' in blue type and the word 'minotaur' 
crossed out. Not to mention the weird typesetting, words on top of words, 
and all the other layout tricks in it. Unlike "Infinite Jest" however, it 
was actually good.
