Company for Henry
by P.G. Wodehouse
read in March, 2013
This book makes a pair of [interconnected] Thomas Hardy jokes, name-checks Southern [US] fried chicken as a wonderful thing, and lampshades its whole premise of a caper involving a missing paperweight as being quaint in the first few pages. Five star...more

Deadbeats
by I.N.J. Culbard
read in March, 2013
Read this in mostly a single go (with one tiny break) after a long day, because it was relatively light and interesting, and I think that you could get almost you need to out of this review by thinking about that. Are you looking for the kind of grap...more

“Seems like the only kind of job an American can get these days is committing suicide in some way.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

“[August] Derleth tried to prevent any other (non-Derleth-approved) writer from writing Cthulhu Mythos stories.If Lovecraft had wanted bad writers to avoid Cthulhu Mythos stories, he wouldn’t have written back to August Derleth.”
Kenneth Hite, Cthulhu 101: A Beginner's Guide to the Dreamer in the Deep

Kurt Vonnegut
“Ideas on earth were badges of friendship or enimity. Their content did not matter. Friends agreed with friends, in order to express friendliness. Enemies disagreed with enemies, in order to express enimity.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions

“Cthulhu seems like kind of a wuss if he can be trapped by a sinking island or killed by a boat."

"That’s just because the stars aren’t right. When the stars are right, it don’t matter how many boats hit him. He’ll sink whole continents and lick off the people like salt off a pretzel."

"Says you."

"You keep talking smack like that, he’s gonna eat you first.”
Kenneth Hite, Cthulhu 101: A Beginner's Guide to the Dreamer in the Deep
