Book # 61 - Nostromo by Joseph Conrad

Well I didn't think Nostromo would be my kind of book and I was right about that. I wouldn't say that it was bad but it also wasn't very enjoyable and I probably didn't get much out of it. The only thing that really kind of interests me about it is finding the parallels between the book and the movie Alien (in which the name of the ship is Nostromo). Hint... transporting valuable metals (or alien creatures) for a large company may not be beneficial to the health of the workers involved. B-

Horror Book # 21 The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft

 

Even though this collection had considerable overlap with the previous Lovecraft collection I read, I still enjoyed it. Maybe not as much though... I'm starting to see that he's basically telling variations of the same few stories over and over. And yeah, I see now that some of the stories are problematic in other ways.
