AWNE's November Pick: Mountains Of Madness (Discussion)

[Devin]

Mountains Of Madness isn't a long read, and more importantly because Lovecraft died in the mid 30's, his work is in the public domain so you should be able to track down a free copy of it somewhere online.
Also, there's an audiobook/reading version of it up on youtube as well if you like audiobook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2iSm...

Elder Things?? G'damn Howard. Where the hell did you pull that shit?

*ahem*
Still reading. :P
How ya'll doing?

I've read it. I'm rereading some parts:) in case I dozed off and missed the very things I feel like he should have put there. These info-dumps were hard.
So this is not the best book to start with Lovecraft?
What's your favorite story?

[Devin]

Truth be told, up until a few weeks back when I finally picked up and got through Call Of Cthulhu, I never actually read Lovecraft. I think when I tried to read it before I was too young, I mean he's the personification of the writer who uses the $5 word when a 0.25 one would do. heh it was always over my head.

But as I got older I immersed myself in the mythology and the lore, by basically reading all about it from third party sources. Things like FFG's Call of Cthulhu game or Arkham Horror.. wikipedia marathons of just clicking through until I found the HP Lovecraft Wiki, heh. So I'm really familiar with the work, but to say a favorite story I would be hard pressed since I didn't read them.

However, from what I know of the stories, I think it's a toss up between The Dunwich Horror, or Dagon.

:) How about yourself?

It's my first story by Lovecraft:-)

Guys, how are you? Do you want to go on? Any suggestions about December read? I'm totally OK with our reads because I see them as never-do-that-in-your-own-novel reads. What about you?
