Namely, At the Mountains of Madness.
I see Lovecraft is really into describing how dreadful the surrounding environment is, and loves repeating the same stuff in so many different ways. It's quite a bore, to be honest. And I keep having to take good breaks from it every now and then because of its tediousness and because it gets really tiring having to resort to dictionaries and google images and wikipedia to understand all the sciency/engineering/construction terms he uses. I will finish it eventually, though. Just so I can say I've read some Lovecraftian work.
What books by Lovecraft have you guys read? Was this a tedious read for you as well? And are there better works of his that you recommend I read?
