No contest here. Many of Lovecraft's "monsters" are basically GODS. The only one who might have stood a chance would be It, because it is supposedly something that has been around since the dawn of time, so may be some sort of god itself. However, the way It is written shows him to be much...

Yep, that irritates me too. For example, I love the world created in Brian Lumley's Necroscope series, but it really irritates me how often he uses the phrase "there are ______s and there are _______s" <---same word inserted into both blanks It's a fine enough phrase I suppose, so it's...

I'm pretty sure Anamnesis meant skip the rest of the Dune series after the first, not skip the rest of the series options you listed. I haven't read all of your list, but I do encourage you to read the Hitchhiker series. It's fantastic.

in order: Necroscope: Invaders - Brian Lumley The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Victor Hugo The Dragon Syndicates - Martin Booth Weird Tales compilation The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins The Iliad - Homer (Robert Fagles translation) Usher's Passing - Robert McCammon Ilium - Dan Simmons

My favorite book of all time is definitely Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin. I recommend this to all interested in classic horror. It's full of stories within stories, discovered manuscripts, and all manner of great classic gothic conventions. I'm always amazed that this is one that...

I'm not exactly sure if this is what you mean, but the Rama series by Arthur C. Clarke might be what you are looking for a sci-fi kinda that spans more than one generation. The books may not seem to span more than a generation through the first one, but as the series progresses you'll see what...

Supposedly Virgil wished to have the Aeneid burned, but luckily for those of us 2000 years later, his request was ignored. I have no way of knowing what kind of impact this book might have, but I doubt that it will be a negative one. I don't think we should throw away a chance to have a...
