BG Book Club

Had I known there were people interested in sci-fi that take inspiration from real-world science I'd have pointed out the last Humble Book Bundle, they were selling dozens of them in a cheap package. Sadly that bundle has ended now, but they've replaced it with the "Forbidden Books" bundle, which is basically a collection of books that touch on subjects that are more than likely to offend, such as a manga artists rendition of the events of Hiroshima, a book of sexual tattoos and a saucy romance novel with detailed illustrations. You can get the first wave for dirt cheap, just a dollar.

That being said all I've been reading are the works of H.P Lovecraft. I have them collected in a gorgeous tome that makes people gasp whenever I pull it out of my bag on the bus, it's huge. If you've always wanted to get into Lovecraft but aren't sure where to start I highly recommend it. Not only are the stories good, but the book itself is sexy enough to display on your shelf, bound in cloth, comes in a shiny box, the works.
