so anne rice is serious about her catholic whatever. saw the new book; the back page was all about the surprising subtlety and simplicity of the book. those are two words you do not use to describe this writer.
i realized i was cooler back when i was an anne rice reader (and i had that book too, yikes). as soon as a new book hit the shelves i had it; well, that started with armand, i guess. now i'm stuck with books that were published at least twenty years ago. the gordimers and the greenes and the mishimas. nothing new now.
some person once laughed at me because i told her i read (past tense) the rice vampire books. i said i stopped reading them after the nth book because of this reason and that. should have told her at least i read the books, not their wikipedia summaries. i honestly think she reads just that.
i miss that self reading anne rice. young and stupid.
