I posted recently that I am reading The Great Old Ones: The Complete Works of H. P. Lovecraft. It is a daunting read. I've read over half of it, but it is a little like trying to read all the 1001 Nights in one sitting. The dark and dreary stories can seem repetitive over time, so I take a break.

Fun to read.
