I'd pick up the books, go "hmmm what if this has something boring in it..." and go and find it for free online instead. (And then often wish I'd bought it, but you know.) <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I like his Other Stories better than the Cthulhu ones.

At least.<BR/><BR/>If you WANT more Cthulhu in your life, you may already know this, but there are a few places online to get Lovecraft. I use <A HREF="http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/" REL="nofollow">this one</A>. (Yay public domain!) But in spite of reading that stuff half my life, I couldn't think of a single idea for the Tentacles antho.
