Can anyone recomend me an intelligent, thought provoking book for me to pick up today? (looking for something fiction)

Lord of the Rings or some H.P Lovecraft. ftw

H.P Lovecraft

What book would be the best to pick up?

 

[skeptik]

The Call Of Chtulhu and Other Weird Stories

The Call Of Chtulhu and Other Weird Stories

Yep. Or get a collection with Chtulhu in it.

 

[skeptik]

Which would be the one that I mentioned.

There's unfortunately, not a very comprehensive collection yet, but I like the Penguin ones. There's three that I'm aware of, the one that I mentioned, The Thing On The Doorstep and Other Weird Stories, and The Dreams In The Witch House and Other Weird Stories.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Would this be something I could find at Barnes and Noble?

 

[skeptik]

You should be able to find it there, Penguin is a major publisher. These versions are also superbly footnoted, which is incredibly helpful, and insightful introductions.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Alright thanks d00ds.

edit: Nice call on Morbid Saint to Malignancy, they are fucking metuuuuuuuul.

 

[skeptik]

Get Everybody Poops too.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Will do.

edit: Wait a second, my grandmother does not poo.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

The Lexicon of Stupidity is a good one.

edit: I can't believe I just mentioned a fucking coffee table book.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Meh, its more of toilet book tbh.

 

[skeptik]

Will do.

edit: Wait a second, my grandmother does not poo.

That's why it's fiction.

Some breath-taking views there.

It's incredible. The country is basically a huge volcano that rose from the sea however many thousands of years ago, and so the landscape as far as your eyes can see from any direction is just rolling hills upon hills upon mountains. I'll never forget it.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Wow, that went right across my head.

 

[Life Sucks]

Sicily looks nice. There are also some great Sicilian black metal bands.

 

[skeptik]

however many thousands of years ago

No more than six.

There's a paperback collection series published by Del Ray consisting of three books called:

The Best of H. P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre
Dreams of Terror and Death: The Dream Cycle of H. P. Lovecraft
The Road to Madness

Out of those Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre has the best selection of stories in my opinion. They have nice cover art as well. The Penguin editions you mentioned might very well be better though. I'm not familiar with them.

I still don't understand why there isn't a super fancy hardcover collection that has all of his stories (maybe with some illustrations or something). I'd die for that. I looked around a few years ago and those books I mentioned above were the best I could find at the time. :\

Sicily isn't a country.

Nice photos, though.

At the Gorcery store I worked at during the summer we had a mentally ill kid who could recite every single Beatle song ever made in correct track order from every cd (even the box sets and shit).

he is an idiot savant, much like me..only I am extremely well versed in metal.
