There are a but silly but I still enjoy them. I have never read any of the HP Lovecraft books. Giant tentacled death gods have always seemed a little over the top but I need to read them at some point. I think next on my list will be Man In a High Castle. I have meant to read it for years and now the Amazon series has caught my interest.

Yeah, the Belgarion books aren't really high class literature, but I tend to read for the story not the quality of writing anyway, and I enjoy the story
With Lovecraft I find his overall mythos quite interesting, and while potentially over the top, some of his stories capture the idea of more powerful beings out there quite well, as well as a potentially more realistic depiction of what would happen to people who find out than is typically the case.
The Man in the High Castle looks like it could be interesting, I've been wary of reading Philip K Dick because of what I've heard about his sexism, though that is probably a bit ironic given I read the sexist / racist Lovecraft...
