The Tale of the Body Thief | Anne Rice

This post contains spoilers

I read this series as a teenager and remembered that this was my least favorite. Holds true. Lestat is impossible. His lack of impulse control is ridiculous and not at all charming. The rape scene of his first foray into sex as a human again was awful. And then he basically did the vampire version of that at the end by making David Talbot a vampire without consent. His remorse after each was laughable. Completely led by his emotions.

Interview with the Vampire | Anne Rice

Started re-reading Interview with the Vampire last night. Sometimes a re-read is the reset my brain needs to get out of a slump. I haven‘t read this in 20-ish years so I‘m curious how it‘s gonna hold up. Especially now that the TV series (a masterpiece) exists and improves on (while simultaneously respecting) the book. Who knows, maybe book Louis won‘t annoy me as much this time.😉 #CurrentlyReading

JessClark78 Rereads are great for getting out of slumps. 🙂 1mo

flying_monkeys @JessClark78 yep, has always seemed to work, but also depends on the book. And then sometimes I wind up re-reading a whole series because I chose the first book to help with a slump and I couldn‘t stop. lol 1mo

flying_monkeys Made it to page 100 🥳 And I quickly remembered why I used to refer to Anne Rice as a woman Stephen King: she‘s wordy af. 🙃 I forgot there aren‘t chapters and paragraphs go on for pages at a time. Can‘t believe I devoured this multiple times between ages 15-25. I miss my young brain. 1mo

Finished!! I cannot recommend listening to this book enough. It was fantastic, just the right amount of horror and all the toxic romanticism I was told to expect.

This novel about 18th century castrato is an amazing piece of literary fiction. She did a crazy amount of research on this one, there's nothing like it out there.

I read this classic decades ago and it was just so perfect I wish I could read it again for the first time.

Taltos | Anne Rice

so-so

This was a reread, and sadly not as good as I remembered it (first read when I was about 15 so a lonnnng time ago!) Really not a fan of the pedophilia that was completely romanticised. Did get me a line in #bookspinbingo though for Jan!

And #bookspin list for Feb!
