The Thing on the Doorstep by HP Lovecraft, the grandfather of a lot of modern horror. It's awesome stuff. You can feel the tension, uneasiness and fright as you read these engrossing stories. Anyone else read his stuff??

"Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" by Richard Feynman

It's some kind of autobiography. The dude is funny.

[Yothers]

I am reminded why I keep coming back to this sooty minefield of opinion.

Some of y'all are dang funny.

[Doommantia]

Quite a revetting read, I love its structure. Quite unique to me.

The book consists of six nested stories that take us from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to the far future after a nuclear apocalypse. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or watched) by the main character in the next.

You do that. Im gonna stick my dick in her and blow my load over her battered and bruised face.

Read a few of his short stories, such as The Dunwich Horror. I dunno, I didn't find them scary just funny.

Have you finished it? It just keeps getting better and better!

Lovecraft is

[Coriolis]

Oh yeah, Lovecraft is love ! it is such a pity that he talent was not recognized when he was alive.

"The case Charles Dexter Ward" is the first one I read from him, it is still one of my favorites.


Current (re)reading : "La Horde du Contrevent" d'Alain Damasio.

Un roman plutôt atypique, assez magistral dans le genre. Il est fourni avec "la bande originale du livre", un cd de musiques écrites spécialement pour se mettre dans l'ambiance du livre.

Imaginez une Terre poncée, avec en son centre une bande de cinq mille kilomètres de large et sur ses franges un miroir de glace à peine rayable, inhabité. Imaginez qu’un vent féroce en rince la surface. Que les villages qui s’y sont accrochés, avec leurs maisons en goutte d’eau, les chars à voile qui la strient, les airpailleurs debout en plein flot, tous résistent. Imaginez qu’en Extrême-Aval ait été formé un bloc d’élite d’une vingtaine d’enfants aptes à remonter au cran, rafale en gueule, leur vie durant, le vent jusqu’à sa source, à ce jour jamais atteinte : l’Extrême-Amont.
Mon nom est Sov Strochnis, scribe. Mon nom est Caracole le troubadour et Oroshi Melicerte, aéromaître. Je m’appelle aussi Golgoth, traceur de la Horde, Arval l’éclaireur et parfois même Larco lorsque je braconne l’azur à la cage volante. Ensemble, nous formons la Horde du Contrevent. Il en a existé trente-trois en huit siècles, toutes infructueuses. Je vous parle au nom de la trente-quatrième : sans doute l’ultime.

for the third time.

[Nietnagel]

^Liked the first half of the book, then it annoyed me. It gets nowhere from there. But I guess that's exactly what Salinger wanted to do.

Excellent book. Holden is the ultimate elitist and elitism is

Anyway, back to HP Lovecraft.

I went for a four hour walk in the woods about a month ago listening to the audio book version of Herbert West: Reanimator (flawlessly narrated by Jeffrey Combs who starred in the movie version) and I was so creeped out I kept turning around to see if there were any reanimated corpses following me.

[one who waits]

I've just spent a week on holiday. I read:

Simon Cowell -- autobiog.
Jools Holland -- autobiog.
Motley Crue -- The Dirt.

I also started to read a Hemmingway novel but i swear every single page was the same as the last.

[Guest_Stevedrummer_*]

i've never met anyone who has hated catcher in the rye as much as i did

well i guess it's not the worst thing ever but i still to this day do not understand how the characters in that book are appealing or even slightly interesting to read about.

[Col]

I'm a ridiculously impatient reader. I'll read a book half way through, and then come back to it on a spur of the moment, a month or a year later.

This is an unashamedly biased scientific argument against theism and in particular creationism.

Man, thats awesome! is it good, or just brutal?

What did you think of Watchmen, Jurkov? One of the greatest graphic novels ever IMO.

And for you Zombie lovers - if you don't mind comics, check out "The Walking Dead". Bleak as fuck, and a very good read!

Recently read:

A Beautiful Math: John Nash, Game Theory and the Modern Quest for a Code of Nature (Tom Siegfried)

Have been halfway through for ages. Thought it'd be more about Nash so I'll have to buy a Nash biography later.

One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer (Nathaniel Fick)

Fick was one of the key players in Evan Wright's Generation Kill, so this should give a little different point of view for their field trip to Baghdad. I've read the training part and Afghanistan, and so far it's been interesting.

Have to finish this one fast as The Bloody Reign of Slayer is next in line and I can't wait to read it.

[Col]

I'm guessing you mean "God Is Not Great" I was definitely planning on reading that next.

Seeing Dawkins answer Bill O' Reilly's argument on Fox about how everything couldn't have happened purely by 'chance' and then comparing that to Christopher Hitchens answering the exact same argument with that other Fox weasel Hannity. Hitchens is far more vitriolic and unrelenting.

[Fish]

And some humor before bed


Yes I'm completely aware of the weirdness of that combo....but I'm weird so the weirdness works

I've only watched the TV series (which was good), but he was portrayed as one of the most level headed and smart guys in that. Now, "Captain America"'s book could've been interesting reading...

This book is just awesome. Vonnegut is one of my favorite authors.

Yes I can hook you up. Check your inbox. (Some of those audio books/readings are better than other though.)

I wouldn't call Reanimator brutal, it's just really creepy like all Lovecraft stories. The genious of Lovecraft is that you never see the horror itself (apart from in The Call Of Cthulhu), he just makes references to it and people's reactions to it.

Check out the Wikipedia page on Lovecraft, it has mucho greato info on the man and his writing.

I'd start with At The Mountains Of Madness, Dagon, The Colour Out Of Space, The Call Of Cthulhu, Beyond The Wall of Sleep, The Dunwich Horror, The Shadow Out Of Time, The Shadow Over Innsmouth and The White Ship.

Since it's been so long since his works were published, they are now considered public domain and can be read/downloaded free and legally in my places online.

[Andy Justice For All]

Lovecraft is oen of my favorite authors. Love the 19th century English and his thorough descriptions of basically everything, really gives the stories even more depth and a greater sense of immersion.
