Clearly you're missing some of the overt symbolism. Lovecraft's stories truly are about the craft of love.darby70 said:They're not sex stories just cause they're the author is Lovecraft.
Hahahaha, that remidns me of my Graphic composition class, we had t o choose for ma list of Authors and make a flyer for an imagianry book signing, a guy choose Lovecraft and he made a flyer that looked like it was advertising some Teen drama novel. I pointed it out and the guy's score was reduced to half. fun times.UniversalWolf said:Clearly you're missing some of the overt symbolism.

THere is a book based on Gamma World? Awesome.
I hope you like "the Reapers are Angels"- its very Southern Gothic + zombies.
A review by Michael M Jones
So what happened was the world went to Hell, through a combination of war, terrorism, and natural disasters...
Nine years later, Mortimer Tate emerges from his well-stocked cave deep in the woods, ready to rejoin the world he left behind, and utterly unprepared for the changes made in his absence. It seems that compared to most, he's actually been living a civilized, luxurious life, and all because he wanted to get away from his soon-to-be ex-wife. Armed with weapons and trade goods, he heads down into town, and begins a nightmarish, bizarre odyssey through a world transformed. Together with his newfound companions, Buffalo Bill the new era cowboy, and Sheila, the hot-yet-dangerous stripper, Mort is dragged into one unreal adventure after another.
Finish the Sprawl-trilogy.Barrett said:Finished Neuromancer yesterday (finally), and yeah, it was a very good book, though the translation I read wasn't perfect in my opinion, maybe I'll re-read it in English sometime.
So I am at a junction here, should I
(a) continue reading the Sprawl-trilogy with 'Count Zero'
(b) get 'Snow Crash' which I heard is an all-round better book than Neuromancer
-or-
(c) read 'Brave New World' by A. Huxley to get my dystopian fix ?
