Look at my location and I think you'll see what I think of Lovecraft.  |

|
Literature is one of my preferred activities, i could read already at the age
of 3 years (not a joke, had to suffer for beeing special my entire "life"), so
my velocity enables me to read much in short time.
In general i have no fav genre, like dramatic (all 36 of Shakespeare,
some Goethe / Schiller), Sci Fi, weird stuff, history, science, and so on.
Because of preparations for passing my A-level (successfully done in may)
i spent about 1000 € for literature past year (+500 for some new boards).
Next i will add a few images of really good books, c ya, Blasph. |

Uh. Once I´ve been a big reader, preferring also the higher-leveled stuff.
THus said, my favourites to read were Goethe, Schiller (why the heck ever) Shakespeare and Aristoteles.
Also I´ve been reading the Qur-an 2 and a half Times or so, since I´ve been Muslim a while.
Nowadays I read almost nothing, doesn´t motivate me anymore, but when, it´s mostly Nietzsche or some Poem/Poems by Rilke or similar Poets.
I also really love Wedekind, his Frühlings Erwachen is my favourite above everything, except a few poems by Hesse and Rilke, maybe. :P
And here and then I enjoy some good comicstrips, preferably "The Order of the Stick". |

Having been a voracious reader my entire life having read virtually every kind of book, good and bad, I still cannot fathom how people can read Shakespeare. I'd rather read a math textbook, it would be more interesting. |

Dramatic is written to be played on a theatre, not to been read, so without
imagination it's hard to read, but the content of W.S.'s works is brilliant,
all experts agree with this opinion.
btw, have some math books too, very interesting indeed |
