And I can't say I've seen that style much outside of said authors in my previous post but then I'm not the most well read of lit students. ;). I'm often the plebian in the conversation as far as that goes. |
Lol. Whereas i can start my own library quite easily and have something for everyone. Seriously, all my books don't even come close to fitting on my shelves. I need more shelves; the things are all over the place!
Right now, i'm reading Maria V. Snyder's Glass Trilogy (The Opal Cowan Novels). I liked the Study Trilogy, and i'm waiting for the 2nd book to arrive (ordered 2nd and 3rd, guess which came first ¬.¬' ). so far it's not too bad. |
I have a fair collection of books. Haven't read most of them yet but I still have them. ;). I keep debating a purge of the ones I've had for a couple decades and not read, so they stop taunting me and taking up space for books that I'd rather have there.
|
I can't throw books away, i even still have the ones i read when i was four! . . . actually some of what i read now i read then, even if i didn't understand a word . . . -.-'
|
I keep the ones that I liked, but those are elsewhere at the moment and hopefully not mouse eaten. I still pick up the odd book that I recall from my childhood to keep around the house. I have a niece and three second cousins already, and there is one more on the way. I decided when I was young that I would never have a boring house with nothing for visiting kids to do. ;)

Nah, i just hoard books lol. Drives mom crazy; books everywhere.
But yeah, i can see where you're comin' from. My boyfriend's mom keeps toys and that round hers, but his nephew (her grandkid) ain't interested in them at all. |
Anne Rice, Terry Goodkind, Garth Nix, Neil Gaiman...
|
I like Silver Ravenwolf
Scott Cunningham Starhawk |
OOOO! Anne Rice! I'm reading The Vampire Lestat right now :D
|
I tried reading Inverview when I was fourteen. Nearly fell out of my chair with boredom. I think I could manage it now though, since I haven't read any of her stuff since, though my mom has a pile of her books on the other side of the shelf from me, the Vampire Chonicles (most of them) and the Sleeping Beauty books.
|
Awesome. I can't watch the film version of Queen of the Damned without ranting about the glaring plot holes and changes. Stupid director ruined the story. I have to forget i read the book entirely.
|
Try The Vampire Armand and Blood and Gold.
|
I keep meaning to by Armand's story from the 2nd-hand book shop i love and adore . . . where's my to-do list gone? :D
|
I can understand why people would get bored with Interview. Even the movie is long and boring, however, there are better books by her, and Armand and Blood and Gold are two very good novels by her.
|
I like Interview the movie, and don't usually have a problem with slow moving things as long as the writing is good enough. I'm patient that way, though, I might not have been at the time.
I know a little of what my Aunt told me when she was reading the series. Some of the stuff sounded quite amusing. The first pages of The Vampire Lestat were amusing to me, if I'm recalling them right. Never was sure what to make of the passage she read me from Tale of the Body Thief though I remember part of it still. |
I did like Lestat's hunts and then wanting to run away to join a traveling mistral troupe. xD
|
I just remember the part about him being a vampire and a rockstar. Not sure which novel began with that, though I assumed it was The Vampire Lestat. Maybe it's Queen of the Damned. Not sure.
I should just read the silly books so I can stop speculating. >.< |
The Vampire Lestat, though you don't hear it as much until the end. Queen of the Damned definately begins with it because the start is set at his concert, and the point of view changes throughout the story so you know what's going on.
I am slightly a traitor. I stuck out the movie Twilight last night partly because i wanted to know if the film would hold my attention more than the book, and partly because i promised my friend i'd at least try. The film can semi-kinda hold my attention after Bella finds out that Edward is a vampire, mainly because he starts showing some emotion after that. And some scenes were, i'll admit, semi cool or funny. Books are still bad, the woman still can't write to save her life, and i still don't get why everyone fawns over Edward so damned much. |
He just looks dead to me.
I parts of Twilight on TV. Not having any kind of context really made things feel more or less blah. Not a lot going appart from two people looking back and fourth at each other with varying expressions of mystery and dumbfoundedness on their faces. The stuff I remember from the Ann Rice books regarding Lestat was on the very first page of the book. I notice a bunch of her stuff has been reprinted, or my bookstore just got a pile of overstock and are selling it off cheap. Trying to decide if I've heard of Pandora before. |
It is a part of the Vampire Chronicals. You meet Pandora in Queen of the Damned; she's Marius' old lover and friend. I love her character, she can be so fiery at times. Just love Lestat more, lovable rogue.

Philip Reeve, did the Larklight Trilogy. Patricia Briggs, did the Alpha & Omega and the Mercedes Thompson series. & Garth Nix, did the The Keys to the Kingdom series. |
I really liked Pandora, I recall. Was that one of the... Tales of the Vampires or whatever? There's this series that came after the main Vampire Chronicles about various minor characters' backstories with this frame story that David (a character who's a pretty major player in the later Vampire Chronicles books) is going around and getting them to tell their stories. I think The Vampire Armand was another in that series though I never read that one.

lewis carroll is pretty awesome
|
I really like Irvine Welsh and John Green are probably my favourite authors :)
|
J. K. Rowling! I really like Harry Potter.
|
Ellen Hopkins, anyone?
|
Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite author, hands down. He's insane and his work is so raw. I like that about him.
I also really like Albert Camus, Ayn Rand and F. Scott Fitzgerald. |
I really really love John Green and also Neil Gaiman.
Also a huge fan of John Ajvide Lindqvist who wrote 'let the right one in' |
More and more I'm liking J.D Robb!
It's a sweet love for her writing. The In Death series in particular is my favorite! |
Right now it's Anne Rice and slightly David Eddings. I just started to read the Vampire Chronicles and going to start book 3 tomorrow. Started them end of last month lol and I am in love with the series and her writing. I kinda put Edding's series on the back burner for Rice's works at the moment.
