Been away for a while...
Rereading Pullman's Dark Materials. Movie wasn't worth the electricity required to show it but the books take me back. Checking out Anne Rice's non-vampire novels, post finding Christianity ''again.'' They are not good... Browsing Steven Erikson's fantasy Malazan series, pretty well-done but seems to lose the thread at times. Looking into more Gaiman and Pratchett/ browsing through forums trying to figure out how to unscrew my computer's technical catastrophe... |
OMG THERES A NEW BOOK IN THE DEMONATA SERIES BDEX? :zomg::zomg:
Im currently reading The Messianic Legacy. |
I've been meaning to find another good book to get into, but I haven't been reading as much as I'd like.
The last book that I read was Atlas Shrugged. though I've been reading manga/comics since then. |
I'm reading Battle Royale. Yes, still. I get annoyed at myself when I read books too fast and then have nothing to read for a while.
I'm almost done with Battle Royale and will need to find another book to take to school with me since I'll be done with BR before school starts. |

Really? I actually liked The Vampire Lestat more than Interview. It's been a decade or so since I've read them, but I think I might have liked Queen of the Damned more too. Louis was never as compelling a character as Lestat to me.
There was a decline after those though, I actually stopped reading after Memnoch the Devil; I started The Vampire Armand, but I never even finished that. I think I read Merrick out of order though. To each their own. |
Eh, the whole Gabrielle thing from Lestat really didn't sit well. It was a little TOO Oedipal. The things that really made it a drag to read was the cookie-cutter descriptions. The stories in Lestat and Queen of the Damned were more interesting, but she did just rehash a LOT of stuff from book to book. I swear, I twitch every time I hear someone mention Botticelli.

Lol, yeah. I can see that. That whole Oedipus Complex thing was taken pretty far there. xD
I think Rice is a fan of tapping into taboo sexual scenarios in general though. |
