H.P. Lovecraft

Has anyone read any Lovecraft? I'd really like to, but I know only so little about him. And of course, asking my mother to send me a few titles by him would surely return me nothing. I really doubt my mother would send me anything by a author known for writing horror fiction almost exclusively about the occult. Like I've said, I've been on a Stephen King stint as of late, and my recently read favorite short story by him, Jerusalem's Lot was apparently done in the Lovecraft motif, likewas with the underlying evil in It. I'm taking the hint. So if anyone knows anything about his works, or has a old copy they'd like to send me. I'm be much obliged. I also really wish I had my big beautiful leather bound Bible of everything Edgar Allen Poe with me, but even in my nice little trailer that I live in even it would be eventually ruined by the damn dust and sand.

I don't guess I ever mentioned that did I? I live in a nice little trailer. It's actually a connex box with a door and an AC, but the effect is the same. I only have one room mate, wooo! the privilages of being an E-5. Though in reality most of my platoon only had to have one room mate, and only the most junior guys got put in a "can" with four.

I'll try to write something more exciting about Iraq later, maybe I'll tell you about being able to smell the cities a few miles out, or how you really don't want to think about the presence of all those empty water bottles in the porta-shitter when you go to shake hajis hand.

Something later... maybe.
