Looks interesting, I'll have to add it to my list.

Besides all the philosophy and science crap I'm reading for school, I started reading a collection of Lovecraft works. It's interesting and a fine light-read before bed, but definitely not amazing.

Lovecraft is mostly shit. His ideas and mythos were great, but any of the technical aspects of prose fiction and good storytelling are completely abject.

I'm rather sick of tentacled horrors from the depths and ancient steps going down into forgotten crypts. I love the ideas, but the actual writing just seems cheap. Which I guess it was, coming from pulp magazines and the like. So far beneath Poe that it's aggravating they are compared. Still, like I said, it's a fine light-read and it is entertaining.

Sorry Hal.

OK, that's enough for me.

Not only is this thread plagued by non-fiction bullshit and pretentious philosophy crap, now people also start talking bad about Lovecraft. I has gone the way of all things TA, towards pretentious crappy elitist drivel. I'm not gonna click it anymore.

There are a couple of good Lovecraft stories I've read. The Rats In The Walls or Pickman's Model spring to mind. He's pretty much like a psy-trance producer: most of his output is amateurish and shit, but once in every twenty or so efforts it all comes together and you get one piece of work that is as twisted and awesome as you'd hope from the concept.

Also reading some non-fiction books, but this is by far the most entertaining one.

Not unlike the book the punny title comes from. I know I've already knocked 1984 one time too many around here, but I couldn't stop laughing at the bit when the protagonist and that bird whose name I forgot go to the woods, and awfully Orwell describes everything as if Winston's willy itself was rising against the Big Brother. It was just a matter of time until it descended to something like this:
quote:
Winston meant to show her the horrors of what it is like to live in the party, so he grabbed her body and challenged her to a fight against his hard dic...tatorship! The kind of oppression that could only be planned by a hard and powerful dictator who was about to seize all control by forcing, with full force, his clenched fist against her cunt...ry. She could now feel the party oppressing her masses, as he squeezed his way upwards with his other hand, as if trying to reach for her heart, as the rest of her governing body sync'ed with his forceful thrusts. It was just a matter of time until Winston, in all his bourgeois glory, came all over her proletariat, and she'd have nothing but Marx to retell her saga later.


Actually, I'm pretty sure if you look it up Google Books, this is part of an uncensored version of that book.
