The Lovecraft questions weren't directed at me, but don't Listen to the audiobook version of Necronomicon. It's my only exposure to HPL, and I'm told by someone who's read a lot of his stuff and listened to Necronomicon that it was all out of order and different stories. It was still cool, but I wasn't blown away by listening to it.

I haven't verified if that's true, but he says it's one to read. I like audiobooks when I drive, which isn't much atm.

it's the only way I could stand to get through Brandon Sanderson's boring ass prose lol.
