Seems really interesting actually.
I'll have a look at that and a read through some of his other material when I get the chance.

So I see. Well, perhaps I'll do the same.
I think there's a second, but I might've misread.
Anyhow, I'll add that to my list as well.

Unfortunately, my educational background has been quite inadequate.
I grew up in a small town where the school ignored the curriculum and prepared people for going into local labor jobs that the town is supported by.
As a result, almost my entire education has been self-taught.
I did not have the opportunity to have previous experience with well-renowned authors.
That being said, knowledge interests me greatly and I'm devoting myself to learning as much as I can.
That's why I'm asking here for suggestions.

art and what not
It's never to late to start.
I've been into Lovecraft since I started highschool
(finished now for 2 years) He has my favorite descriptive
Passages that ran my mind rampant for hours reading
The 3 books that I have, I've songs based of his tellings
I may have a look into it at a later point in time, but for now, this isn't my key area of interest.
Lovecraft seems to be highly recommended here.
I believe I'll be looking into that author.

Mh, seems like it could be an interesting read. I'll take note of it.
Heh, yeah, they come highly recommended. I believe I will.
Again, thank you to everyone for the suggestions.
