As I noted in my list, this is certainly my mainstay. That's why the small bookcase next to my bed is chock-a-block with Lovecraft, Lovecraft, Lovecraft... and Lovecraftian matter....

Ah ... this would explain the sudden 'breeding' of plush Cthulhu's under the bed. Who's responsible for the Ninja Turtle and Elvis ones?

Lovecraft, Lovecraft ... sounds good to say too.

Ah, the evil triumvirate, eh? The old boy must be softening up. Last I heard, he devoured all the other plush toys; or, rather, they just disappeared one night.... Then again, I have seen a (certainly specious) picture of them all bowing down before him, and receiving instructions of some nefarious sort.... (Shades of Gahan Wilson's "And then we'll get him....")

Yes. I don't think there was ever a man more aptly named.....

Edit: To Weave (in shock, horror, and dismay): Now, that's the original Elder Blasphemy!!!

Re: Which book/s have you read more than once?

Weave ... Ah this would explain the enduring tale that Elvis lives. It's clear that he's definitely not left the building .... or the pool at any rate.

j.d. ... Google has interesting things to say if one types in Lovecraft.

And the Ninja Turtle ones?? I am of course keeping silent on the ummm Santa Claus one and the Dracula one.

Re: Which book/s have you read more than once?

Steven Erikson ~ Malazan series - all of them - at least twice!
Dune series
Jane Austen (no I know she isn't Sci-fi or fantasy, but I love her books).

I'm sure there are others, just can't think of them right now. I'll come back to you on it...*wanders off pondering!*
