[@Lauder] I've not read anything by either Lovecraft or Shelly, but I did read Treasure Island when I was younger. I remember enjoying it.

[@Double Capybara] I've not read anything by any of those - though I recently bought me some Kafka, and I did start Fellowship of the Ring some years ago. I've always been repulsed from reading Terry Pratchett. Have put Lem and de Assis on my list though - thanks for that!
