Started on a new short story by Lovecraft entitled: THe Mountains of Madness. It'll take me until at least tomorrow to finish if not two days since it's one of his longer short stories. Oh and I now like Lovecraft.

Oh! I read that one about 20 years ago. It was the story that cemented my love for Lovecraft.

Well I finished The Transition of H.P. Lovecraft, The Mountains of Madness collection of short stories. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.

I'll soon start on A History of Germany 1815-1945 by William Carr. I checked it out at the local library.

It picked up near the end for me, when I had to know how it ended . I couldn't stop turning the pages then.

Just read Sophia was reading Lovecraft.

I'm slowly working through an online collection of his works...I just read 'Dagon' and am starting on Call of Cthulu. Dagon was incredible. I wish I had the sort of macabre creativity this man had.

 

[evanescencefan91]

Finished outliers and I now understand why asains are so good at math and everything else

and Now I'm about halfway through tweak; growing up on methaphedamies

For all of you interested in Winston Churchill and appreciative of British Humour, I suggest the book :

"The Definitive Wit of Winston Churchill" by Richard M. Langworth

It's also the book I'm currently reading. Very funny, and a great way to extend your vocabulary.

Nice. I never did read Green Lantern back in the day. I kind of wish I had.

Spare Green Lantern has the most amazing writer writing him right now. This guy is ******* in-cred-i-BLE! He's extended the whole mythos and made the green lantern story-line much more in-depth and interesting.

His name is Geoff Johns. And if you read a comic I reccomend you read his miniseries that he wrote for Green Lantern entitled Blackest Night. It's actually a DC event (meaning characters from all over DC are involved in it) but it's centered in the Green Lantern mythos.

******* amazing. I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.

You're going to have to wait til it comes out in softcover though if you are going to read it.

That's a good one. There's a novelization of "Kingdom Come" by Eliot S. Maggin that I actually enjoyed more.

Just started reading "Contact" by Carl Sagan again. I read most of it a couple of years ago, but got sidetracked, so I'm starting it over. It's a great read.

What is it about?

Hey Electric, I checked out Kingdom Come at the local comic book store. The clerk told me it was really good. Unfortunately I'm too obsessed with buying the back- softcovers of Green Lantern to drop any money on a justice league story-line. Maybe sometime though!

And Now i'm actually reading A History of Germany 1815-1945 by: William Carr as I said I would.

I finished the 2nd Volume of Showcase presents. But thought I could use a break from Green Lantern because I had read 5 books of that without anything inbetween. I still have to finish up volumes 3 &4 to complete the silver age of Green Lantern.
