A review by jabarkas
The Complete H.P. Lovecraft Reader by H.P. Lovecraft

I'm about 33% through this right now. A lot of it is very fun, but in general its been a bit of a slog due to two factors. First, I find Lovecraft's general paranoia a bit hard to empathize with - I tend to think of the world as being ruled mostly by benign incompetence, rather than malicious conspiracy. Second, Christ is the man long-winded. Pretty much every story hear could stand to lose about 30% of its total length.
