Welcome to Litsy!

Tonight‘s supper & book. It‘s been 19 years since I last read MEMNOCH THE DEVIL, and I‘m delighted out of my mind because THAT‘S LONG ENOUGH THAT I‘VE FORGOTTEN STUFF! I used to reread this whole series every April, and I thought I‘d have it memorized forever. Yay! Surprises!

I‘m loving it so far, but one thing I do remember is that I always love New York and the art and the ghost, but I zonk out once Memnoch starts talking. We‘ll see.

1. Probably Anne Rice with Vonnegut a close second.
2. In bed or curled up on the couch.
3. No I don‘t.

Prompt: Devil

I really enjoyed this 5th installment of The Vampire Chronicles. I felt it was a little blasphemous at times but I told myself, self, its just a book. Lol
I give it 4 1/2 out of 5🍪 #allhailprincelestat #thebratprince

"I saw him when he came through the front doors. Tall, solidly built, dark brown hair and eyes, skin still fairly dark because it had been dark when I'd made him a vampire" - Lestat de Lioncourt "Brat Prince"

Ok, but it‘s not really a Lestat book.

Lestat hanging out with the devil is a vehicle for Rice to go on a theological exploration of Christianity. While the ideas are interesting (I didn‘t quit, after all), the story just drug on and really did nothing at all to advance the vampire chronicles story. Then it ends on a note to suggest that everything that came before might have been falsities Memnoch fed Lestat to serve his own agenda. 🙄

⭐️⭐️1/2

Still catching up on #AugustIsATrip

With these Anne Rice books I reckon you can cover #Heaven & #Hell & #Paris & #Cemetery & #Garden

Very interesting twist on Christian mythology. Anne Rice never ceases to amaze me with her ability to take something so well-known and spin it in a new way. Bravo!

I haven't read this series in ages but I still have all of my hardback Anne Rice books that I started buying in high school and continued collecting for a few years after college. She had a run of books that I did not like at all so I gave up. I have not read any of her more recent work but I have a few ebooks I got on sale that I keep meaning to try. #fallenangel #characters2017
