Every so often i feel the need to revisit Lovecraft.

morethanpretty · 03-29-2009, 10:09 AM

I'm giving Anne Rice a try. Working on "The Witching Hour."
So far I like the story, very intriguing. I'm not too impressed with the love affair/making, the main female character is just too submissive and weak when it comes to that. I'm only 200pgs in, mebbe that'll change.

The Hour I First Believed - Wally Lamb

I got a complete Lovecraft for my Kindle. My intention is to dip into it in between other books.

So far the plan hasn't worked out very well. I'll probably just have to dive straight into it.

Go on...dive in...but wait until your alone on a graveyard shift :P

My favourite time to read Lovecraft is early hours of the morning when sleep eludes me. Takes me back to being a kid and reading whatever obscure spooky stories I cuold find on the family bookshelves. Also, for some reason, the Miskatonic seems to flow a little stronger, and Arkham's walls stand a little more solid in the early hours, by lamplight.

This sent me off on a little time travelling. Haven't been to this site in years:

I got the Time Traveler's Wife from the library over the weekend. It's good so far.

Finished Coraline - brilliant. Now on to The Graveyard Book; Good Book (Plotz) and Making Lists.

Am refusing to read the male version of the hateful Jane Austen: Henry "Fussy" James, and his The Portrait of A Lady. Would rather drop the class. Is awful. Reading about 'class' and "marriage' and 'spunky young women' makes me wanna vom.

Sort of off-topic here, but does anyone own a Kindle? I am thinking of treating myself to one for my birthday, but they are expensive, and I would like some feedback first.

I love my Kindle, but I have a Kindle 1, can't speak to the new version.

Currently reading: Android Dreams - John Scalzi

Darkly Dreaming Dexter, by Jeff Lindsey.

Wow. Just wow.

binky · 04-09-2009, 04:49 PM

Thanks Wolf, I really think I want one.

Steamrolled through To Kill a Mockingbird yesterday because I have to start teaching it tomorrow. (Yuck.)

Reading The Graveyard Book for pleasure, during that imaginary thing they call "free time."
