As a kid I just wanted to read weird old shit. LOTR, Douglas Adams, Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, you can guess where this is going. I still can't let go of my childhood Lovecraft nightmares. I am aware most of that is stupid and racist and misguided. But strip that hateful garbage out, you still have a lot
Addendum I f'd up and didn't mention my adoration for Ursula K. Leguin
How is wanting to read weird old shit racist ??
Ok they weren't all racist. Racism is the basic premise for Lovecraft for sure.
hah, Lovecraft specifically. I heard he was racist af but couldn't see it in his work (haven't read all of it but a good chunk when I was younger)
