[QUOTE="scadgrad, post: 2449852, member: 766"] While I'd be the last to compare Lovecraft to say Hemmingway, Joyce, or Dickens, I find him to be a damn fine writer, one who in the due course of time will probably find his place as a worthy successor to "the divine Edgar." I think you and I are of completely different mindsets, because I think both REH and Fritz Lieber (who's only loosely associated w/ the HPL circle but still) are excellent writers. Still, I'll kick the dead horse by pointing out that HPL and Moorcock (who I really enjoy) are anything but RPG-related. I'm a voracious reader when I can find the time though work, kids, and gaming take up much of my time. Since I'm so pressed for time I rarely read any of the dreck that is Game Fiction though I have on occasion. [B]Last Two Books Read[/B] Curse of Chalion (sp?) by Bujold (4/5 stars) and The Skystone by Jack Whyte (3/5 stars) [B]Currently Reading[/B] The Darkness that Comes Before by Bakker and The Amber Spyglass by Pullman [B]Best Book I've Read in the Past 12 Months[/B] Perdido Street Station by China Mieville(5/5 stars primarily for imagery and imagination) Bah, I found this to be the worst tripe I've read in ages. Poorly drawn characters and absurd moments of exposition just totally ruined it for me. I can't understand why the young kids go on and on about this guy. What's he up to now? 11 books in the series? Just finish it already. Somehow I figured you were one of those "Cost Management" Fanboyz Curtis. [/QUOTE]
