    Anne Rice

    I have read more Anne Rice than any other author. I'm not sure exactly why this is. Are there any other Rice fans on this site?? I would love to discuss her books with others. I used to belong to an Anne Rice forum, but it got a bit naff after a while.

    I've read a few of her books, the ones I've read I've liked. I haven't really gotten into the "vampire" books, well except Memnoch . I've seen the movie "Queen of the Damned" and was thinking of picting up the book.

    If you do plan to read Queen of the Damned, I would recommend reading the first three. (Queen of the Damned is the third) The film is a poor mix of The Vampire Lestat and the Queen of the Damned. I haven't yet found someone who has read the books that can stand to see the film. I have to turn it off after the first ten minutes! Of course, taken as just a film it isn't an excellent production but it is entertaining. I also don't think Jon Davis' (KORN) voice is right for Lestat, but others may disagree.

    oh, yipes I thought the Queen of the Damned was sepeate from the vampires series - I don't know why I thought that!!

    I'm a big fan of Marius, from what I've read/seen so far can I just skip ahead to his book?

    Marius is in all of them, I think, especially the second two. Also in Pandora; it tells of before he was a vampire. I haven't read his yet. I have an online friend from Germany who adores Marius. Mind you, he does sound a bit foxy

    Loved your jokes on the joke thread, btw

    I also read the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, which is DEFINITELY not for all readers. It's erotica. It was funny, pervy, and in general pretty good if you have an open mind. It did make me laugh in a lot of places though, lol

    Which film? They made Interview with a Vampire too. That one was really well done, I thought.
    Memnoch the Devil is brilliant, I think. I love the explanation of heaven/hell and Memnoch.

    The movie for Interview was good,but Queen of the damned was garbage.Memnoch was a interesting book,but my girlfriend believed every word of it and it drove me crazy.

    Was Memnoch made into a film? I really did like that book, it made me consider different possibilities.

    So, should I start at the beginning of the series?

    Lol
    It does raise a good twist on heaven and hell though. I'm not surprised that some people started believing in it. I have to say, if I believed in God, that's the way I'd look at it.
