 Re: Your "to read" list What Was Lost is the 2007 début novel by Catherine O'Flynn
Daniel Keyes authored a biography called The Minds of Billy Milligan. Another book by Keyes, The Milligan Wars, was published in Japan in 1994, in Taiwan in 2000, but not yet in the United States, owing to Milligan's ongoing lawsuit against the State of Ohio for the allegedly inadequate treatment he received in Ohio facilities.

Re: Your "to read" list I've read a few of Lovecraft's lesser known stories and they're lesser known for a reason. The better known Cthulhu mythos and related stuff is just better.
For example "Old Bugs" isn't about ancient eldritch insects.

Re: Your "to read" list There are far too many books on my list, more than I will probably ever manage to read, but I just came across a book I most definitely want to read.  An extract can be found here: http://www.penguin.co.uk/UKExtract/0,,M ... 5l,00.html
