August Derleth is a pretty good bet, especially considering he was pretty much responsible for keeping Lovecraft in print. Thanks. Should I expect Derleth's work to be as racist as Lovecraft's was? I don't want to be surprised by it if it is.

It's been a few years since I read it, so I couldn't say. You might also want to check out Clark Ashton Smith (thanks, wiki!).

Thanks again. Do you know anything about Ramsey Campbell?

I don't recognise any of his titles, so no.

Finally started Brave New World. I've had it on my desk for quite a while now. One of my all time favorites.

Yeah. Brave New World is pretty damn good. I'm also hoping I can get House of Leaves at the library soon.

More Information Than You Require, by John Hodgman. Freaking hilarious.

I've been rereading my HP Lovecraft: Complete and Unabridged collection recently. To my knowledge, it lives up to its title and contains all of his works, including some early drafts of some material that never got published. I know of some of the other authors who wrote some stuff in the Cthulhu Mythos, but I don't know which one to check out first. If you want a mix of authors, you can check out books like, 'The Horror in the Museum,' and 'Tales of the Lovecraft Mythos.' They contain a great mix of stories from many of Lovecraft's peers. I really liked the stories in 'The Horror in the Museum.' As for specific authors, I'm personally partial to Henry Kuttner and Thomas Ligotti, but only because they created my favorite beings; Vorvadoss and Cynothoglys.

Just finished re-reading Geoffrey of Monmouth's "History of the Kings of Britain", ludicrous medieval celtic-propaganda cod arthurian stuff. Up next, I shall be dipping into the Laxdaela Saga.

Just finished 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemmingway. The turgid, repetative writing, pseudo-Olde English and dodgy political position (Soviets good, four legs bad) kistracted me from a good story. Typical bloody Hemingway.
I'm reading Catch-22 now, also War and Peace.

Just read G.I Joe: Rise of Cobra Survival Handbook and it may not have been the most interesting thing, but it's G.I mother fucking Joe.
One question I have about it is why does Cover Girl get her own section? She fucking died.

I just finished reading Good Omens by Gaiman and Prachett for the first time. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever read. I kind of feel bad that it took me this long to actually experience it. I have no idea what I'll read next. With so much to do for school and such, choosing a book is very important.

I read Guts by Chuck Palahniuk. I don't think I'm going to jack off anymore...seriously, that stuff is better than anything a fundie can bring. Of course I just HAD to find that story based solely on your comment. It is with out doubt the most fucked up thing I read in a long time. Brain bleach ain't gonna do it this time.
