I've read this book a few times now, but it is nice to read it every now and then. Other than this I don't have that much time to read anything "serious" since most of my time goes into learning Finnish Sign Language and reading books concerning the topic.

I read that book last year and found it to fill in the gaps that most books leave ca. 1983-1991.

I own the first 8 books. Haven't touched them in 2+ years but were the best at the time. I still want to finish the series at some point.

Anyway:

So pretentious...so good.

Almost done with the Ghost of Belfast by Stuart Neville. It's a great thriller novel and I usually don't read them. After I am done with that it's back to Steven Erikson's "Deadhouse Gates" a great series. Need to read something while R.R. Martin finishes the fifth book

I've never actually read a full book, but my brother likes them a lot and they're nice easy readin for those tired mornings.

I think i'm in love, discovering this author on halloween is the most perfect thing ever.

Very nice choice there James! :thumbsup:

What stories are included in that selection? If you're enjoying what you read in that you'll definitely want to see what you can find for full collections. Lovecraft is a lot like Poe, you can get all their work in one book for like 20 bucks at most places. Kudos on getting into him at such a young age, his language isn't exactly the most engaging of authors, very eloquent, but it does do a wonderful job at depicting a bleak and eerie world not dissimilar to our own, even after 80 years.

Very cool. I saw him do a reading when he was touring bookstores for "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim". He's surprisingly small - and also an excellent reader; his stories are most hilarious when read by him. He's also really funny when he handles the inevitable dumbass questions from some of the audience during Q&A.

it includes:

The Tomb
Beyond the Wall of Sleep
The White Ship
The Temple
The Quest of Iranon
The Music of Erich Zann
Imprisoned with the Pharaohs aka Under the Pyramids
Pickman's Model
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Dunwich Horror
At the Mountains of Madness
The Thing on the Doorstep

There are two other volumes which i'm planning on getting after this.

His language is really complicated, but I have a dictionary at hand for words I don't understand. And I really like using those words in conversations and lyrics afterwards. I still need to check out Poe.
