I could not agree with this secret more. I recently started trying to read some Lovecraft for the first time, and although I read a LOT of classic lit and usually manage to get through it just fine, I kept having such an intense eyeroll response to Lovecraft that I ended up stopping after reading only three of his short stories.

The whole "My paradigm was toppled, my mind couldn't handle it, and I descended into madness and despair" thing is just so melodramatic, unrelatable, and silly to me that I couldn't handle it.

God, me too. I've always liked the aesthetics of Cthulhu mythos and also recently have gotten his short story collection. Have only read 'Dagon' and 'Call of Cthulhu' so far, but dang the protagonists are all a bunch of wussies. The one in 'Dagon' is understandable, but the Cthulhu one is stupid.
