Why my wife rules

So I am reading Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness.  

My wife asks me what I am reading.  I tell her and she says,

"Oh yeah I have read that, I think they based The Thing on that."

 So not only has she read At the Mountains of Madness, she knows that The Thing,
one of my favorite movies is partially based on it. 

Awesome.

*Point of fact, The Thing was based on a story called Who Goes There? by Campbell,
who was inspired by the Lovecraft

Truly a woman worthy of keep.

I saw The Thing in 5th grade, and loved it. My dad told me how it was a remake of 'The Thing' starring James Arness in the 50's, but then told me it was based on 'Who goes there'. So he bought a short story sci fi collection so I could read it, and I did. It was surprisingly gory.
