Egil's Saga Egill Skallagrímsson - Wikipedia

I've been reading through the entire collection of HP Lovecraft. Someone told me to read Dagon which is like 7 or 8 pages and if you enjoyed that story then keep going. I was hooked after that. The Dunwich Horror and The Shadow over Innsmouth might be 2 of my favorite short stories ever. I may skip over his Dream Cycle stuff though as that doesn't really appeal to me.
I really enjoyed The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
Any ideas for the next book club? Maybe in July?
Just throwing ideas out there :
Malcolm Lowry - Under the Volcano
James Baldwin - Just above my head
Apsley Cherry-Garrard - The Worst Journey in the World
David James Duncan - The Brothers K
Can I be a nerd and suggest something nonfiction haha?
For sure, haha
That should keep you busy for a while. Good luck!Well here goes nothing, I started Wheel of Time...

What is this about? Heard of it but never picked it up.
I picked up a new copy of The Little Prince to replace my ravaged one. Also picked up a copy of All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I'll throw these up as suggestions.
There is a reference book (The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time) and a companion (The Wheel of Time Companion: The People, Places and History of the Bestselling Series). The reference book has more details about the history and characters, while the companion has a lot of everything and is quite useful for keeping track of the many, many characters in the series. While it's been a long time since I've looked at either one of them, the reference wasn't really spoiler heavy (maybe a little on the antagonists of the series) since it was released about half way through the series run (after book 7), the companion is chock full of spoilers and there are no warnings anywhere. I would only suggest either of them if you end up falling in love with the Wheel of Time universe or are the type that needs to know everything about the world as there is zero narrative in either book; it's all background information.Anyone who has read Wheel of Time, is it worth it to grab the Companion book?
