No, Memnoch hasn't been made into a film. Thank God! They'd kill it!Originally Posted by papayahed
Obviously it's up to you whether or no you read the others. They aren't so theological. But they are intelligent and not difficult to read. I would definitely recommend reading the first three. Those and Memnoch are the best of her writings, so I'm told. And I loved them.

I wouldn't. Put the roof on first and then build the walls down till they hit the ground.

huh, do you think that'd work?

Ive recently read the three 'lives of the mayfair witches' and fell in love with anne rice's style of writing.
I was wondering if someone could tell me which book I should read now. Do I need to read all the vampire chronicles before I can read blackwood farm and find out what is happening with the mayfairs.
Is there a particular order to read these books??
I would be most grateful if someone could please help me out.
I loved the first three of the Vampire Chronicles and Tale of the Body Theif wasn't too bad but there are only so many times we can be told that Lestat is blond, powerful and bad before it starts getting a little repetitive.I think the key, for me, is not to read too many of her books in a row, I need to have a break when I read her books because they all start to feel the same after while, but I suppose you could say that about almost any author.
Anybody read the new one about Christ? Wasn't that one written after she got back into religion?

No, I haven't read it yet and yes, it was written after she renewed her faith. From the reviews, it's sounds kind of odd, I think I'll probably skip that one.

I'm really curious to she what it's about, especially after reading memnoch.

Did you know they've made a musical about the Vampire Chronicles? It's called Lestat and apparently, it's not very good. I just read a story about it on Yahoo. Read about it here.

I'm a huge Anne Rice fan. I'm re-reading her early Vampy Chronicles at the moment cause they're my favorites.
hehe, somehow that doesn't surprise me.

I found Memnoch to be an excellent read, Anne's writing style is most enthralling and educated, her views on Christianity i found well crafted , now after reading this thread I will be reading the rest of her Vampire ensemble, has anyone heard of "The Witching Hour" its the one title that lured me into her, but I havent talked to someone who's seen read it..
Anne Rice? Oh, I fell in love with her characters and the plots are enchanting, too. I just can't resist the tempetation to read her books. So I am hude fan of her novels and especially of The Vampire chronicles.

I have read all but 7, 8(Vittorio and Armand) and I love Anne Rice and it totally makes no sense to me (Its not exactly my genre). I haven’t read anything outside the vamps though. Love the name hazel-ra. You know a lot of W/D fans are Rice fans too. I just saw this post I didn’t expect it. The only other Anne Rice fan I know is the one who got me into these books in the first place and now I’ve read more than her so I have been starved for conversation on one of my new favorite authors.

Concerning Memnoch, I really liked it, But my one friend who also read this didn´t, for the kinda the same princple as the other dude with his girlfriend. Its like the divinchi code, people start treating fiction like doctrine. I feel any of Memnochs short comings are totally made up for in the introduction of the Blood Canticle(you know where lestate basically ripps a new one for the readers who whined about the last book) I am totally gonna put that on my t-shirt. I loved the intro almost as much as the whole book.
I have heard but not read of the witching hour.
