About meAs an infinitely powerful Great Old One, I, Cthulhu (pronounced Khlûl'hloo - get it right!), came to Earth from beyond the stars to laugh at the puny, insignificant scurryings of the race known as Humans. While here I decided to read great swathes of their literature, some of it even about myself. Because, it must be admitted, I'm Great (notice the upper case G). I'm rather partial to a bit of philosophy, and the odd cookery book too.

About my libraryIt's bigger than this. Having spent the millennia waiting for the stars to to align, I've amassed quite a large collection of books. I'll spend a bit more time adding the rest when I can (between bouts of annihilating humanity). And when I pay some money to add more books! Confound these Humans.

I make no apologies for the awful books I have in my collection. There's nothing like reading a little trash once in a while!

Hi! Saw your comment. Cult of Alien Gods is a book debunking the theory that aliens came to earth in ancient times and built the pyramids, and generally that whole school of thinking.

The writer thinks that HP Lovecraft's stories inspired that idea, and he actually goes into detailed summaries of some of the stories, then goes into detail when comparing them to some of the books that present the idea as fact.

only two? what I've entered is the mere tip of my literary iceberg, there will be more I'm sure. otherwise how else can you explain it?

I'm not sure. I downloaded it while surfing the web and did not make a note of the artist. I think he or she is french connected to 'Heavy Metal' magazine/comic. I thought it was very apt for LibraryThing. I like your 'Cthulhu' picture by the way.
