H.P. Lovecraft

I'm not sure if I really need to repeat the poll question, so I won't.

Edit: And why did you give the answer you gave to the poll?

Adding On to the Poll Question

I remember reading Lovecraft in High School, because I was really drawn to the art on the book covers.

I have never heard of this Mythos thing, so I'm hoping I clicked the correct poll box.

I like his stuff, because all the other describers of unfathomable evil out there seem to be fans of evil. The protagonists in Lovecraft are good guys.

When I say Mythos, I mean the stories written by Lovecraft's friends and other writers that add to the story arcs created by Lovecraft.

Funny thing, the Lovecraft: Fear Of The Unknown documentary was on TV a couple of days back. Have relished his stuff since I was a teenager. It's making me want to read At The Mountains Of Madness yet again, but I've got a schedule to keep with Joyce and reading the BoM at the same time.

I want to like Lovecraft. I really do.

But he's overly pedantic in his writing style.

But he's overly pedantic in his writing style.

Which is ironic considering he never finished high school and never went to college.

I tried reading his stories but they never really clicked with me. Kind've reminded me of Plato's stuff lol.

I've read a few short stories and really liked them. When reading Lovecraft, I need to be able to really pay attention. For the last 5 years I've been reading things that go a lot faster. I'm thinking it might have to do with the kids. I want to read something that if I need to put it down mid sentence against my will, it'll be ok. Also, I need to be in the MOOD for Lovecraft. That mood usually happens when I'm all by myself. That hasn't happened in a long long time.
