Okay well, I will be honest right now. I love the writings of Poe, and Lovecraft.They are intensely fascinating. Poe on a more poetic level, and Lovecraft on a more storytelling (sometimes, almost scientific) level.

That said, Compared to modern literature, their writings are both kind of tricky to read, and kind of wordy. Less literal than most modern writers. That is not a bad thing! However, and I would hate to ever come across as condescending, but I would say that if you ever have trouble reading either, there is no shame in stopping. Taking time to read another story.

Lovecraft's wording (especially) can be somewhat trying on the nerves. And you should feel that you can stop, and go to another story at any point. I like to have afew novels/short stories going at a time. Maybe it is just a sign of the times, but Victorian era writing tries my patience a bit.

That said, I know that your writings tend to be very descriptive, so I may not be the one to suggest what you may liike :)
