I've read all of Pratchett's discworld books, which is kinda of upsetting. So now I'm working on a H. P. Lovecraft novel. Lovecraft is my second-favorite author.

Nobody read his works while he was alive, it wasn't until after he died of malnutrition (among other things) that he became known.
But yeah, I didn't even know that they share a birthday, or that it was today. I was just looking for something that happened on Apr 27 that's not boring, and those came up
