Recently finished: Caleb Carr "The Alienist" - cool book but the ending is just anti-climax.

Now: Andrzej Sapkowski "Boży Wojownicy" (God's Warriors) - this is the author of THE WITCHER on which the game is based.

I plan to read: LaVey's bible.

Oh, and I'm trying to get some Lovecraft's work but there are only few of them in our library  :( I could just download them from Project Gutenberg but printing 500 pages seems to be a stupid idea.

uhm, you actually look at me as being emo? wow that's a first.

i'm the complete opposite.

tarkil

You still suck anyway... I'm pretty sure reading Anton La Vey's bible would be some interesting and enlightening experience...

Whoa, I need to come here more often or else I miss too much.  The Satanic Bible is pretty good actually, one of my favorites.  LaVey was witty and had a great sense of humor.  Buy into the eccentric, black magic image or don't but he was a good, intelligent writer with an interesting philosophy. 

I'm am a HUGE Lovecraft fanatic if you couldn't tell from the obvious.  Have around fifty collections, works, anthologies, etc.  The archives are a good place to start if you want to look into him.  http://www.hplovecraft.com/

This site,  http://www.dagonbytes.com/thelibrary/lovecraft/  ,  has his short stories all online.  You should try to find his poetry as well but that is a little more difficult.

I fucking love Brad Pitt

i kill for fun

all Lavey ever preached was basically do what ever the hell you want all the time and don't give a shit about doing it....why do you need to be a part of a religion to do that?

It was actually more along the lines of reaching your full potential and deciding your own fate.  It isn't really as much of a religion as it is a philosophy.

William S. Burroughs - The Naked Lunch is fucking crazy, radical. Parts I don't get, but it flows well and is poetic.
